Flow of the course

About this spot

This roadside station sits right next to Wakasa Station (若桜駅), making it a perfect waypoint on a trip through Wakasa Valley (若桜谷). The local products corner is lined with items unique to Wakasa, such as fresh local vegetables, wild mountain greens, and woodwork, while the eatery offers set meals and noodle dishes made with mountain delicacies. Inside there is a railway diorama recreating the scenery along the Wakasa Railway (若桜鉄道) line, and watching miniature trains run through the countryside is an irresistible sight for train lovers. A spot where you can enjoy shopping, lunch, and a railway mood all at once, it serves as a base for exploring Wakasa on foot.

Tips

The eatery gets crowded around lunchtime, so entering before noon goes smoothly. It is just a short walk from Wakasa Station (若桜駅), so you can leave your car parked and explore on foot. Local vegetables and processed goods for souvenirs have a wider selection in the morning.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour 15 minutes. With lunch in between, you can leisurely enjoy the diorama and the local products corner.
