Local Gourmet Lunch at a Highway Oasis with Views of Ishizuchi Mountain
About this spot
A roadside station of the highway oasis type adjacent to Ishizuchi Mountain Service Area on the Matsuyama Expressway, accessible from both the expressway and general roads, making it a convenient rest point. The direct farm sales shop "Oasis Market" is lined with fresh vegetables and fruits delivered from local farmers in Saijo and Komatsuchō, as well as local processed products. At the restaurant, you can enjoy set meals and noodle dishes made with local ingredients—perfect for a hungry body after mountain walking. Located on a high point with excellent views, you can see the Ishizuchi mountain range you climbed that morning. With a soft-serve ice cream cone in hand and sitting on a bench, you can discuss the morning's heavenly journey during an enjoyable lunch break. It's an ideal rest stop before heading to the railway park in the afternoon.
Tips
The restaurant can get crowded during weekend lunch hours, so secure seating early. Popular vegetables and fruits at the farm shop may sell out by afternoon. The parking lot is spacious and free. It's an ideal location for a restroom break or to refresh the children's spirits.
Best time to visit
Approximately 1 hour required. Arriving before or around noon gives the best balance of farm shop selection and restaurant availability.
