About this spot

This roadside station is located in the Nagao district of Sanuki City and offers fresh vegetables and fruit from local farms, processed foods from Kagawa Prefecture, and Sanuki udon-related souvenirs. It is about a 10-minute drive from Tsuda no Matsubara, making it a good spot to visit at leisure in the afternoon before the fireworks. If you are feeling a bit hungry, the food corner is a fine place for a light bite, and it works well as a spot to put something in your stomach before the evening's fireworks. Even just browsing for Kagawa-style souvenirs or looking over local specialty products adds to the enjoyment of a summer trip.

Tips

About a 10-minute drive from Tsuda no Matsubara, located along National Route 11. The parking lot is spacious and easy to use. On the day of the fireworks, the area around the venue gets crowded on the way home, so finishing your souvenir shopping at this time will keep you traveling light in the evening. Stocking up on drinks and snacks here as well helps you avoid the crowds around the venue.
