Michi-no-Eki "Hoshi no Furu Sato Fujihashi" (Star-Blessed Land Fujihashi Rest Area)

Flow of the course

About this spot

A rest area along the clear waters of the Ibigawa River in the Fujihashi district of Ibigawa Town. The farm shop corner, lined with vegetables, fruits, and locally processed goods grown in the Western Mino mountain villages, is popular with locals and allows you to take home seasonal bounty as-is. The restaurant serves hearty set meals typical of the Ibigawa mountain villages, making it ideal as the first proper meal before viewing the fireworks. The grounds, where you can hear the sound of the river's rapids, also have shaded areas where you can relax and prepare yourself before departure. The midday hours spent overlooking the Ibigawa from the rest area naturally build anticipation for tonight's riverside fireworks.

Tips

Located along National Route 417, about 20 minutes by car from the center of Ibigawa Town. The parking lot is spacious. Early entry is recommended on Saturday mornings when the restaurant is expected to be crowded. Farm products tend to sell out by evening, so if you have specific items in mind, this is the time to visit.

Best time to visit

Approximately 1 hour 15 minutes required. Visiting right after the rest area opens at noon is recommended when it's relatively less crowded.
