Road station fooding June Kim Do you know about the michi no eki or “roadside stations?” They’re all around Japan, and they’re similar to rest stops except some of these offer more than just a place to park and use the restroom. Many of these will sell souvenirs, feature local produce, and unique experiences, only to that area! These are great ways to experience different areas around the prefecture! Many stations will have flyers for local events as well as a farmers market for some cheap produce. You’ll also find restaurants that will try to offer unique cuisine if possible. Each one will usually have a unique soft serve flavor as well. Here’s some food that you might find around Akita’s roadside stations!
Kazuno Antler, Kazuno At Kazuno Antler, there are quite a few places to eat in this roadside station that’s built around a square. Not only can you see a museum featuring some local festivals, but you can also try out their local Kazuno beef! You can even have it as a beef hamburg set
