Start Your Day With Lunch Using Highland Vegetables
About this spot
This rest area features highland vegetables and local specialties grown at the high elevation of Namino and is home to the evening festival venue "Kagura-en." Begin here with lunch, acclimatizing your body to the cool highland air as you start your day. In addition to set meals and light snacks made with locally-grown vegetables, there is an excellent gift shop. Since the same location transforms into the festival grounds at night, witnessing the contrast between the daytime and nighttime faces of this place is another highlight.

Date & time: 8/15 (Sat) Time TBA(雨天中止)
Venue: 阿蘇市波野・道の駅波野「神楽苑」
道の駅波野に併設された「神楽苑」を会場に開かれる、標高の高い波野ならではの納涼まつりです。2026年は8月15日の開催で、日中に訪れた道の駅が夜には祭りの舞台へと姿を変えます。地域に伝わる波野神楽の舞をはじめとした催しが行われ、下界より涼しい高原の夜風のなかで夏の一夜を過ごせます。派手さよりも地域に根づいた温かさが魅力の祭りで、家族でゆったりと楽しめる雰囲気です。
Tips
雨天の場合は中止となることがあるため、当日の天候には注意しましょう。標高が高く夜は冷え込むことがあるので、羽織るものを持参すると安心です。周辺の街灯が少ない箇所もあるため、足元にはご注意ください。
Tips
The parking lot is spacious, making it relatively easy to enjoy during the day. In the late afternoon on festival day, crowds are expected, so visiting during lunch is recommended.
Best time to visit
About 50 minutes. The lunch hour draws local crowds and bustles with energy.
