A new looking roadside station. On the left building, there’s a sake store with its brewery behind. The store is very well stocked of sake products. In the middle open area, there’s a Pokémon playground for children. On the right side building is a departmental store & supermarket as well as food court. The station toilets are clean & dry
Nice large service area, kids play area, two sheep in the petting zoo, cost coffee, nice bakery and a Muji shop to mention just a few of the things on the services. Sleeping in the campervan in the car park, very quiet night. Look round the back of the services for a nice place to sit by the river.
Very new and nice place. Restaurant is good too, delicious food with lot of variations, such as sushi, ramen, yaki soba, curry rice etc.
Enjoyable environment with river view, walking path, playing space for kids and everything.
Overall very calm place to have good rest, food and some shopping.
A new road stop (道の駅）constructed after Namie town is reopen to public after the 311 earthquake and nuclear incident. In addition to souvenirs and local goods, it is surprising to know that there is a Muji in the station. Wt the day of visit, there is only a radioactive dose of 0.04uSv/h, which is even lower than that in Hong Kong, my hometown. Together with the Chansey park next to it, it is a place worthy for a visit to support the rejuvenation of Fukushima coast from the blow of 311 earthquake.
There were various and interesting foods and non-food souvenirs from Fukushima.
