Local Ingredient Lunch and Farm Stand Exploration - Also Experience Dr. Makino's World
About this spot
A roadside station bearing the affectionate name of botanist Dr. Makino Tomitaro, bustling as a lunch stop at Sakawa's gateway. The interior features a botanical atmosphere with flower motifs throughout. The farm stand displays a full range of seasonal vegetables and fruits from local farmers, as well as Sakawa's specialty products. The dining area offers set meals and light fare made with local ingredients, perfect for an energy boost between sightseeing. Items featuring Dr. Makino and plant-motif souvenirs—many found nowhere else—make this ideal for souvenir hunting. A grass square is also available where you can rest after eating and prepare for the afternoon flower walk.
Tips
Located along National Route 33, just a few minutes by car from central Sakawa. The dining area gets crowded during lunch hours, so consider shifting your time slightly or browsing the farm stand first. Bring an insulated bag if purchasing fresh produce. Popular vegetables and fruits may sell out by afternoon.
Best time to visit
Approximately 1 hour 30 minutes required. Coming in early afternoon allows the dining rush to settle down, and you can browse the farm stand more leisurely.
