Roadside Station Yunotani (道の駅 ゆのたに)

Flow of the course

About this spot

A roadside station in Yunotani, Uonuma City, lined with local produce and specialty goods. Uonuma is known nationwide as a rice-growing region, and the richness of this land comes through in the products on the shelves. There's also a food corner, so finishing lunch here before the pool lets you make full use of your afternoon. The surrounding area is mountainous with few shops, so it's smart to buy your drinks and snacks here all at once. It has a spacious parking lot and is also a popular rest stop for drivers heading toward the Okutadami area.

Tips

Business hours and closed days vary by season, so check the official information for the day's details. Summer weekends get crowded around lunchtime, so eating before 12pm can save you from waiting. The pool opens at 1pm, so wrap up with enough time to spare to make it there. Follow the facility's guidelines on what you can bring into the pool.

Best time to visit

About 1 hour 5 minutes—timed to make the 1pm pool opening.
