大井川鐵道を見に行った際に立ち寄りました。道の駅の定義は知りませんが飲食も無く地元産品も殆ど無く、ただ有料の体験型施設があるだけです。千頭駅周辺は飲食店がほぼ無く、多くの方が飲食を求めてここに来て我々同様がっかりした様子ですぐに帰って行くのを見ました。 施設自体は入場していないので良し悪しはわかりません。

Shizuoka Areas
With the giant Pacific Ocean to the south and the great Mount Fuji to the north, Shizuoka prefecture is blessed with some of the best views the country has to offer. The white sand beaches of the Izu Peninsula are a rare find on mainland Japan, neighbored by beautiful cliffs, tumbling hills, and natural hot springs. As Japan’s largest producer of green tea, the age-old tradition of tea drinking is ubiquitous in Shizuoka, from the miles of tea fields to the old tea houses hosting traditional tea ceremonies.
