Lunch Spot Where Ainan Gold and Treasures of the Uwakai Sea Gather
About this spot
A roadside station along National Route 56 overlooking Gosho Bay, beloved as a base for exploring Ainan Town.

The restaurant serves seafood rice bowls and other fresh catches befitting a fishing town. Ainan Gold, with its refreshing acidity and refined sweetness, is known as the Japanese grapefruit and is a pride of Ainan. This reliable stop allows you to enjoy lunch and shop for souvenirs all in one place.
