Gateway to Taisho Gorge Sightseeing with Fresh Bread and Local Vegetables
About this spot
A roadside station serving as the gateway to Taisho Gorge sightseeing, located just minutes from the Tojo Interchange on the Chugoku Expressway. Inside the facility, you'll find a farm produce direct sales shop, a specialty goods corner, and a bread workshop with freshly baked bread—perfect for breakfast or gathering supplies for your gorge walk. It also serves as an information hub for Tojo, the castle town where white-walled buildings remain, with a tourism information corner where you can confirm highlights of Taisho Gorge and road conditions before setting out. A reassuring stop at the start of your journey, bustling with drive-through visitors and local shoppers.
