How Does Japanese Service Area Look Like?
Hey guys! I rent a car during my Fukuoka trip for the first time in my life. It was so nice to have a car in Fukuoka because there was a lot of amazing places I could check which I think it could've almost impossible to explore without a car. I felt so much freedom traveling on a car! I got a chance to look around a service area in Japan while we driving on the high way!
There were so many green things on the way to Nagasaki! And we found this beautiful service area on the national highway called Yamato the station on the high way.
Big parking spot and lots of bending machine reminded me Korean service area :)
A ice cream shop!
A little snack bar sells Dango(Japanese rice cake with soy sauce), Senbe(rice cookies) etc.
I was wondering what's in the main building and it turned out,
A big supermarket!!
Have you tried Ramune? There is a little ball in the bottle to block the bubbles going away, it's pretty fun to drink it and taste also fresh but little bit sugary tho ;) It's really good summer drinks!
In the supermarket, they had a lot of product from the local area.
These bread also coming from the local bread shop!
I've never seen the service area selling local veggies or fruits, how cool is that?
You can support the local farmers and also you can get the healthiest snack!
And also sweet deserts ;)
My favorite part of this service area was the view! Big mountain and there is a big river behind. People could take a rest putting their sore feet from driving in the cold water watching fishes and get fresh air!
I bought Japanese grape that also came from this local area, it was so sweet and fresh!
I loved it :)
We just wanted to take a little break, but there were so many things to do in this service area, so spend quite a lot of time here! Hehe I want to visit a lot of service area all over the world! :D
