    国道113号沿いにある山形県東置賜郡高畠町にある道の駅です。一体何十台停まれるのだろうと思うぐらい駐車場が大きいです。 それと国道を挟んで目の前には「まほろば古の里歴史公園」や「安久津八幡神社」があり、ご近所には「瓜割石庭公園」や「犬の宮」「猫の宮」などもあり、この周辺の観光の拠点に便利な場所です。コンビニも近いです。 広い駐車場にしては車中泊をしている人は少なく、目の前の国道も夜間は通りが少なく...

Although often overlooked, Yamagata prefecture by no means lacks appeal: the Yamadera temple trail through the mountains, deliciously tender Yonezawa wagyu, and over 100 steaming hot springs, most notably Zao Onsen, await visitors. When winter comes, the snowcapped peaks become dotted with skiers by day and onsen-goers by night, while summer brings the celebration of juicy Yamagata cherries.
