Sanyodo Yakage-juku Roadside Station

Flow of the course

About this spot

A roadside station with a calm design that blends into the Yakage townscape. Locally grown vegetables and specialty products are on display and there is a place to eat, which makes it a good stop for lunch. It sits at just the right break point in a stroll through the townscape, and being able to leave your bags in the car while you rest is convenient too. Stock up on drinks and snacks here in preparation for the afternoon of water play. It also serves as a tourist information point, so you can ask about where to go if you have time to spare.

Tips

Business hours, regular closing days and the status of the eating area can change, so checking the official information before you head over is the sure approach. Seats fill up at lunchtime, so arriving a little early lets you eat in peace. Buying local vegetables and fruit on the way back saves you from carrying them around. Rather than getting into the water right after eating, use the travel time to the park to let your body settle, which makes for a good flow.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour 15 minutes. Arriving before noon lets you avoid the crowds
