Fukui Obama-shi Kaminegori 9-20

"This rest stop for people taking the Saba Highway opened inside of a renovated old folk home in 2016. Saba Kaido is the collective name for the highways that connect the Reinan region of Fukui Prefecture with Kyoto. It was once the route used to transport seafood to Kyoto. The Saba Highway gained this name relatively recently because of the large amount of salted mackerel (saba) that was carried on the highways. The Izumicho Merchants Alley is marked as the start of the Saba Highway with a plate containing the words ""Kyo wa totemo juhachiri"" (Kyoto is only 18-ri about 44 miles away). The route, which is largely comprised of the Wakasa Highway, has a number of famous places such as the Wakasahime Shrine and the Kumagawa Juku post town. There are also many places along the route where travelers can eat mackerel dishes."
