Roadside Station Sakadani (道の駅酒谷)

Flow of the course

About this spot

A roadside station along the prefectural road in Sakadani, Nichinan City, marked by its thatched-roof building. It has a direct-sales market lined with local farm produce and processed goods, letting you pick up items made in the mountain villages nearby. There's also a restaurant serving soba, and dining while taking in the mountain scenery makes for a truly traveler's moment. Surrounded by mountains, you can tell the air feels different from the city as soon as you arrive. It's also a convenient stop for picking up supplies before heading to the pool.

Tips

Business hours and closed days may change with the season, so check the official information before heading there. There are few shops around the pool, so it's reassuring to pick up drinks and lunch here. Since you'll be driving mountain roads, it's also easier to fill up on gas around here.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour. Right after opening, the shelves are well-stocked and easy to browse.
