About this spot

This roadside station is located in Nasushiobara City's dairy-farming district, and its direct-sales stand, known for fresh local milk, yogurt, and seasonal vegetables, is a popular draw. The light-meal corner also serves dishes made with dairy products unique to the Nasunogahara area, making it a perfect spot to fuel up before the fireworks festival. The facility is also convenient for finding souvenirs, letting the family enjoy shopping to round out the day. There are relaxed rest areas both inside and outside the building, and its ease of stopping by during a drive is another appealing point.

Tips

About a 15-minute drive from the Nasushiobara City Library Miruru (那須塩原市図書館みるる). Items at the direct-sales stand can sell out early, so check on anything that catches your eye sooner rather than later. Drive to the Naka River Riverside Sports Park (那珂川河畔運動公園).
