Flow of the course

About this spot

Located along National Route 7 on the banks of the Yoneshiro River, this roadside station is affectionately known as "Kimimachi no Sato." The building, constructed with generous use of Akita cedar, impresses with its warm wooden ambiance. Inside, you'll find a farm shop displaying local vegetables and mountain delicacies from the foothills of the Shirakami Mountains (白神山地), plus a dining area serving local dishes. There's also a children's space with wooden toys, ensuring young visitors won't get bored. From the observation deck, you can enjoy sweeping views of the gently flowing Yoneshiro River and the mountain ranges of Kimimachi-zaka ahead. More than just a driving break, it's a dependable hub where families can play, eat, enjoy views, and make the most of your afternoon.

Tips

About 30 minutes by car from Noshiro's downtown area; spacious free parking is easy to access. After lunchtime rush, the dining area is easier to find seats and you can leisurely browse the farm shop. Popular local vegetables and processed goods may run low by evening, so secure souvenirs at this time.

Best time to visit

Approximately 1 hour 15 minutes required. A late lunch after 1:30 pm avoids crowds and allows for leisurely relaxation.
