Flow of the course

About this spot

A roadside station located in the Togawa district of the middle Shimanto River basin, offering a riverside location and menus using Shimanto ingredients. It's a place to encounter ingredients unique to this region, such as dishes made with aonori seaweed and wild eel from the Shimanto River, as well as locally produced vegetables and processed foods. The time spent relaxing on terraces and benches while viewing the river makes for a perfect break before the fireworks. The agricultural products direct sales corner offers opportunities to search for local seasonal vegetables and specialty souvenirs. The Red Iron Bridge festival venue is about 30 minutes south by car from here.
