Final shopping at a rural roadside station stocked with local vegetables and Sanuki souvenirs
About this spot
A rural roadside station just beside the Bikadō Gorge, situated along Route 438 and cherished as a rest stop for those driving near the Tokushima border. The direct sales corner is lined with freshly picked local vegetables and mountain produce, specialty items unique to Mannō Town—known as Sunflower Land—such as sunflower oil, and a full selection of Sanuki udon-related souvenirs. The light food corner offers soft-serve ice cream and dishes made with local ingredients, perfect for a rest after your gorge walk. The facility also includes an on-site hot spring, allowing you to leisurely complete your shopping amid the quiet mountain atmosphere.
Tips
In the late afternoon, popular produce items sell out quickly, so head directly to the direct sales corner upon arrival if you have specific items in mind. A cooler bag is handy if you're buying vegetables or refrigerated items for the ride home. The parking lot is spacious and can serve as a base for your gorge exploration.
Best time to visit
Approximately 45 minutes. Arriving before evening ensures good selection of produce and leaves plenty of time for your return drive.
