Nothing much

As my title suggest , nothing much at this place. First floor sell souvenirs and snacks while the 2nd floor is a small exhibition of photo taken of various part of japan.
A perfect place to stop by + relax + have lunch!

Traveling from Aso to Yufuin, this place is pretty much a must stop! It is soooo pleasant and the architecture is obviously amazing. Its like a spaceship in the middle of a very tranquil Japanese...
小国町の中心部にあるユニークな形の道の駅です

まず、建物がインパクトありますね。日本初の「木造立体トラス工法」という建て方なんだそうですが、外壁は全面ミラーガラスで逆台形（？）をしてるんです。外観はきわめてユニークな形ですが、内部は小国杉を数多く使っている、木目が素敵な館内でした。館内では、町特産の小国杉や檜を使った工芸品が目立っていました。
