Chihayaakasaka, Osaka, Japan｜道の駅ちはやあかさか

There is a roadside station at the top of the stairs to the left of the village facilities. It's a very small roadside station, but its cute atmosphere makes you feel at ease. On the second floor of the roadside station, you can enjoy a variety of food such as rice terrace curry and lunch. Since I went in the evening, most of the vegetables were sold out, but I bought pesticide-free bitter gourd for 100 yen. During the day, pizza baked in a stone oven that looks like it's handmade in the photo is also sold outside. The road is a little narrow, and I wonder if there is really a roadside station ahead? That being said, I thought it was a roadside station worth visiting.

I felt that it was the most ideal roadside station I have ever come across. Although it is in Osaka Prefecture, it is located in a fairly rural area, and is a fairly small facility with minimal food and beverage facilities. But the food and drinks are also stylish and nice. There is a lot of crafty feel. I can't even describe how it feels a little outdated. By the way, product sales are also at a minimum. And there are surprisingly few people. I'm tired of the roadside stations that have become so common these days, with elaborate sales and food and beverages. I hope that there will be more and more simple and peaceful roadside stations like this roadside station.

Very cute roadside station ❤️ Rice terrace curry was also very delicious! It was okay even for children who are not good at spicy food. It's a small roadside station, but I didn't feel inconvenient because there was a wide variety of local vegetables and fruits for sale.
