Mountain Dairy Products and Sanriku Seafood: Closing Your Journey with Souvenir Hunting
About this spot
A highway rest stop along Route 45 serving as Tanohata Village's gateway, with the affectionate name "Shii no Kaze" (Shii's Breeze) derived from the village landmark Shii Bridge. The shop displays an array of Sanriku seafood and local specialties, with the standout offerings being milk and dairy products from mountain dairy farming, where cattle graze freely in pastoral hills. The rich soft serve ice cream is a quintessential travel treat for refreshment after exploring the cliffs. A food court serves dishes prepared with local ingredients, providing the perfect place to rest before your train departure. Here, reviewing photographs taken at Kitayamazaki and Unopike Cliff with your travel companion becomes a cherished moment. Before departing, select souvenirs such as Sanriku Railway merchandise and seafood to carry home the memories of your journey.
Tips
About 15 minutes by car from Unopike Cliff and roughly 10 minutes by car from Tanohata Station, located along Route 45. The parking lot is spacious and easily accessible. If purchasing fresh seafood, a cooler bag is recommended. Confirm your Sanriku Railway return train schedule before settling in to allow comfortable time.
Best time to visit
Approximately 1 hour. Plan to visit after 3 p.m., once sightseeing is complete, allowing time before your return train.
