    国道113号沿いにあります。朝早かったため開いてませんでしたが、大きい道の駅で信号機向かい側にも建物がありました。関川村は2022年夏の豪雨被害が遭った所で米坂線は2023年3月現在不通です。

Bikes can be rented from the tourist information center standing in front of the Awashima Kisen dock. The circumference of the island is around 23 kilometers. Taking around three hours to ride completely around the island, during the ride you can take in the vast natural beauty of Awashima, including sparkling blue ocean and green-covered hills. Some parts of the road consist of steep hills and there are no vending machines along the way, so it’s a good idea to bring along a little food and drink. Note that bikes cannot be reserved and are rented out on a first come, first serve basis.

    Niigata Tainai Kurokawa 7

    個室もあるしセット料理も多い。ただ大盛りの方がいいと思いました。タバコの吸う人もなく良かったです。昼時は結構お客さんが多いですし、駐車できるスペースが少ないです。料理はとくに普通の味でした。
