Located along National Route 156 in the mountain valleys of Gokayama, this roadside station offers local flavors such as Gokayama tofu and wild vegetables. Perfectly positioned between Aikura Settlement and Kami-nashi District, it's ideal for dinner and shopping. As evening temperatures drop in the valleys, warm local cuisine will fortify you before the festival begins.
Tips
About 10 minutes by car from Aikura Settlement. Since nearby shops close early, complete your meal and shopping here.
Best time to visit
Allow about 40 minutes. Early evening is the perfect time to stop.
