About this spot

A roadside station located along Route 178 in Iwami Town, where a popular direct sales shop displays fresh fish and shellfish unloaded at the local fishing port, as well as Iwami-grown vegetables. Beyond snow crab season, the shop offers processed products and prepared dishes using the local marine bounty, and a light meal corner serves menus featuring local ingredients. On the day of the fireworks festival, the surrounding area becomes crowded from evening onward, so it's a smart choice to finish lunch here during the afternoon. It's also fun to choose Iwami Town's signature products as souvenirs and share the local flavors with your family. The roadside station itself is close to Uranotomi Beach, and your subsequent move there will be smooth.

Tips

About 5 minutes by car from Uranotomi Beach. On the day of the fireworks festival, parking may be crowded in the evening, so it's best to finish lunch and shopping during the afternoon. Buying light meals to take out for evening snacks by the sea is also recommended. Restrooms are fully equipped, making it a convenient base to stop by before evening.
