    This municipal marine facility is near Kushimoto Ohashi Bridge, which services Kii Oshima Island. The fishing town of Kushimoto Town is greatly affected by the Kuroshio Current, and Minato Matsuri collaborates on the distribution and development of various marine products with the Fisheries Experiment Station of the adjacent Wakayama Research Center of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. The souvenir corner on the first floor sells fresh, high-grade seafood such as Kushimoto brand Shorasan bonito, spiny lobster, and abalone. Their second-floor eatery offers rice bowls made from locally harvested seafood, and their highly popular Sanshokudon Meal Set features young shirasu sardines, tobiko flying fish roe, and raw tuna.

    道の駅に立ち寄って見ました。1階はお土産屋さん、2階はレストランになっていました。お昼時でしたので、レストランは、お客さんで一杯でしたので、ここでの食事は諦めました。
