About this spot

Located in the center of Motegi town, Michi-no-Eki Motegi is a local information hub stocked with a rich variety of local produce and processed goods. You can enjoy Motegi's unique flavors on the spot, from yuzu-based drinks and sweets to rice balls made with local rice. The farm-stand market is lined with seasonal summer vegetables, prized for their freshness straight from local growers. On the day of the fireworks display, roads in the area get congested from evening onward, so it's best to finish your sightseeing here in the morning to early afternoon. Warm up your appetite with a light lunch or some street food to prepare for the afternoon's activities.

Tips

It's located along National Route 123, making it convenient to reach by car. Parking is free and spacious, but traffic in the area increases from evening onward on the day of the fireworks display, so an earlier visit is recommended. Convenience stores and restaurants are nearby, so it's a good idea to stock up on drinks and snacks here for the fireworks viewing.
