Shop for Shizukuishi-Grown Vegetables and Souvenirs at the Direct Sales Counter to Wrap Up the Day
About this spot
A roadside station of Shizukuishi Town standing along National Route 46 as it heads toward the Akita Prefecture border through mountainous terrain. "Anekko" means a young woman in the local dialect. The direct sales corner displays vegetables, wild plants, rice, and homemade prepared foods and sweets grown by local Shizukuishi farmers, all labeled with producers' names for peace of mind. The dining area serves local-ingredient soba and light meals, and soft-serve ice cream is also popular with hungry children. The spacious grounds offer a great rest stop to stretch before continuing your drive. Complete your day of pasture play and handcraft experiences by filling your basket with Shizukuishi's bounty. A perfect final stop to sweetly end your travels.
Tips
About 15 minutes by car from Morioka Handcraft Village heading toward Akita on National Route 46. Popular direct-sale items often sell out by evening, so explore with a treasure-hunting mindset. Plan toilet breaks and snack refills for the children before heading home.
Best time to visit
Plan for approximately 45 minutes. Selection is abundant during the day. Late afternoon is perfect for leisurely rest before the drive home.
