    テレビでもよく登場する道の駅です。確かにお土産のジャンルが豊富で充実していますが、枇杷に関するお土産の種類と品数は、隣接地に建つ「お百姓市場」の方が実は上回っていました。枇杷ソフトクリームも美味しかったですが、「お百姓市場」のものはミニサイズもあったりして、選択しやすいかも知れません。ただ、食べ比べていないので味の優劣は不明です。

    "This roadside station is in Oguni Town, Aso County. It's also known locally as ""Yu Station."" Completely covered in mirror glass and made with local Oguni cedar, it's Japan's first wooden-space truss building. The first floor has a gift shop selling specialty products, and the second floor is a tourist information center providing all you need to know about the region. It's on the site of what was once the Japanese National Railway's Higo-Oguni Station."
