Complete your journey with local specialty shopping featuring Imari pears and Imari beef
About this spot
This rest area and station gather the culinary appeal of Imari in one place. The local produce hall displays fresh seasonal vegetables and fruits from nearby farmers, including the juicy sweet Imari pears and premium brand-name Imari beef, known for its fine texture—all showcasing local specialties. Between shopping, treat yourself to fruit-flavored soft ice cream to refresh. While Imari is known for its pottery heritage, it is also a thriving agricultural region producing abundant fruit and livestock. Take home souvenirs representing both sides of Imari—pottery and food—to sweetly conclude your day's journey.
Tips
Seasonal fruit selections vary, so if you find something you like, purchase it promptly. If bringing back fresh meat or refrigerated items, bringing a cooler bag is recommended. Stock diminishes as evening approaches, so visit early if you have specific items in mind.
Best time to visit
Allow approximately 1 hour. Visit by early evening while produce remains plentiful.
