Concluding Your Journey with Sweets Made from Local Specialty Steuben Grapes and Tsugaru Souvenirs
About this spot
A roadside station in Tsuruta Town along National Route 339, with the nickname "Tsuru-no-Sato Aruija" (meaning "There's a Crane Village"). Tsuruta Town is known as Japan's leading producer of Steuben grapes, a variety prized for its storability. The station is lined with processed products made from locally grown Steuben grapes—juices, jellies, sweets, and more. The rich sweetness of Steuben grape products is a taste you'll rarely encounter elsewhere, making them perfect souvenirs to mark the end of your journey. A direct farm products sales corner offers fresh vegetables, fruits, and rice from the Tsugaru region, with local pricing and freshness as key attractions. The station also features bread and prepared foods, plus light refreshment areas for leisurely breaks during your return journey. Reflect on your day's scenic exploration while bringing home the bounty of Tsugaru.
