About this spot

Located along National Route 168 beside the Yoshino River, this roadside station is a treasure trove of local ingredients. The direct-sales farm shop offers vegetables and fruits harvested in southern Nara's mountain villages, Yoshino kuzu products, and locally-processed foods with genuine warmth. The restaurant serves set meals and noodles using Yoshino ingredients—perfect for a pre-fireworks meal. Purchasing drinks and snacks here beforehand ensures you're prepared for the evening viewing venue and helps you avoid crowds at venues around the event site. Rest a moment while enjoying the riverside scenery and prepare yourself for the night's fireworks.

Tips

Convenient access by car along National Route 168. The road becomes congested on fireworks day evening, so arriving earlier is recommended. Purchase drinks and snacks here to avoid crowds at venue stalls.
