Kyoto Minamiyamashiro
A Michi-no-Eki BASE in Kyoto's Only Village Where You Can Take a Short Break from Driving to Soothe Your Tired Body
This Michi-no-Eki (roadside station) in "the only village in Kyoto" is visited by many people from morning till night. Here, the main attractions are Uji tea and souvenirs made with Uji tea. The "Mura-cha Pudding" and soft-serve ice cream, which use locally produced matcha, were exquisite. The "Tea Porridge Set Meal" for breakfast was also superb! I was very pleased with such a luxurious experience that let me dine while looking at the tea fields.

Michi-no-Eki Amarube (Amarube Railway Bridge Observation Deck "Sky Station")
Hyogo Kannabe Highland
A Station in the Sky, a Exhilarating and Nostalgic BASE
A station in the sky located 41 meters aboveground. Slowly ascend on the glass-paned elevator, Crystal Tower, to be greeted by a magnificent ocean view! It is an exhilarating feeling, but walking on the old railway tracks that are no longer used also makes one feel a little sentimental.

Michi-no-Eki Youka Tajimanokura
Hyogo Tajima Yabu
A BASE to Visit When You Want to Take Home Memories of Your Trip
I always associated sansho (Japanese prickly ash) with eels... until I discovered the Asakura Prickly Ash section at the Michi-no-Eki (roadside station) and all the sansho sweets, dressings, and soft-serve ice cream they were offering. Never in my life had I tasted that kind of sweetness and freshness of sansho. They also had tsukudani (food boiled in soy sauce) and curry made with Yatsuka pork, and eating them when I was already back home made me feel like I was still on that luxurious trip.
