Katori, Chiba, Japan｜Mizunosato Sawara Rest Area

VERY GOOD

This is a roadside station along the Tone River. The parking lot is not that big. Large vehicles can also be stopped at the adjacent river station. The food court and shops feature locally produced foods and foods made by local people, allowing you to enjoy gourmet food that gives you a sense of the region. The scenery is vast as it is along the Tone River. There are also wild birds such as swans on the riverside, so you can enjoy nature to the fullest. You can rent bicycles at Kawa-no-Eki, and there is also a cycling path nearby. This time I stopped by to visit Katori Shrine, but it was a place you could enjoy on its own.

I stopped by on my way home from fishing. I was surprised by the large variety of bento and rice balls. My wife was happy to buy cheap vegetables. There was a food court, so I made my own tempura ramen, which I've been into lately, and enjoyed it with the rice balls I bought at the shop. My wife ate zaru soba saying it was delicious😁
