    ロの字型の建物で、中庭を囲んでお土産物屋さんやレストランなどが並んでいます。 産直品を売るいちばコーナーでは名物のバター餅や野菜、果物とその加工品など手ごろなお値段で売っていました。 きりたんぽ発祥の地だそうで、きりたんぽづくりの体験もできるようです。

    初めていきました。自然豊かな環境の中にたたずんでおり、また、十和田湖に近く旅の途中によるには最適です。矢立峠から入ってきましたが途中の経路も景色がよく楽しいドライブで今度は青森側から入ってみたいとおもいました。

    Akita Odate-shi Nagabashiri Jinba 311

    秋田県と青森県の県境にある道の駅です。少しわかりづらく使い勝手はあまりよくないかなと思います。 売店やトイレは思っていたよりもコンパクト、レストランは充実しているかなという印象ですがなんとなく物足りない印象でした。

    道の駅と言っても、小さなお店があるだけで、殊更珍しい物は有りませんでした。 この道の駅は奥に有ります[お殿水]の方に興味をもって見学し、一杯飲んでみました。流れを途切れさせることも無く、竹の筒から流れ出る水に興味を引きました。

    Akita Yamamoto-gun Mitanecho Kado Ko Ishino 126-1

    じゅんさいもありましたが、少し足を伸ばせばじゅんさいの館があるし・・・農産物もありますが旅行中には・・・「是が非でも寄らないといけない!」という内容ではありません。ただ、コチュジャン味噌がここの名物らしく、これは「買い」だと思います。きゅうりと相性が非常にいいです。

Akita Areas

around-area-map

Famed for its sake and samurai, Akita prefecture offers quintessential Japanese culture in a non-touristy setting. Alongside the celebrated rice paddies and historical sites of the region lies dramatic natural scenery in the form of the rugged coastline of the Oga Peninsula and the Dakigaeri Gorge, best visited in autumn, when the leaves begin to change color.
