Morning breakfast and shopping at a roadside station in Tsuno, the tea country of Shikoku
About this spot
A roadside station in Tsuno Town, nestled in the mountains along National Route 197 heading toward Yusuhara from the Susaki direction. Tsuno Town is known as one of Shikoku's premier tea-producing regions, with the shop lined with fragrant Tsunoyama tea and confections made with tea leaves, as well as local vegetables and mountain delicacies. Grabbing a light snack and enjoying breakfast on the deck overlooking the mountain village is truly special. The sloped grounds also feature a long roller slide, offering a fun nostalgic memory as a couple. Located at the entrance to the Shikoku Karst, it's an ideal stop to stock up on drinks and trail snacks before your sky drive.
Tips
The parking lot is spacious and easy to navigate, though it can get crowded around midday on weekends. Since convenience stores are sparse in the mountainous region ahead, stock up on drinks and snacks here. Don't forget a restroom break.
Best time to visit
Allow approximately 40 minutes. Early morning is when the shop is quietest and the mountain air is freshest.
