A Tourist Hub With Local Cuisine and a Variety of Facilities

This roadside station is near the nature-rich Hei-gawa River, roughly halfway between Jodogahama, a scenic spot in Sanriku, and Morioka City, Iwate. It also houses a grass event plaza, Dragon Square, and the Yakushi Lacquer Craft Museum, making it a place that people of all ages can enjoy. It's also recommended as a rest stop during sightseeing, as it serves local delicacies made with local ingredients, including log-grown maitake mushrooms and black soybeans, and is a great place to sample local produce from the Kawai area of Miyako City.

The most popular dish at "Restaurant Moumoutei" is the "Dragon Noodles", a thick miso-based dish with five levels of spiciness. The noodles are bound with egg, giving them a mellow flavor that lingers in your mouth despite their spiciness. Fresh noodles and soup sets are also available for purchase in the local specialty section or online shop.

At the "Coffee Corner," you can enjoy freshly baked homemade bread made with local specialties from the Kawai region of Miyako City. The slightly sweet "Black Bean Bread" owes its popularity to the perfectly balanced sweet-and-salty flavor of black soybeans.
