    Mie Pref. Kitamurogunkihokuchou Kinagashima-ku Higashinagashima 2410-73
    This roadside station is in Kumanonadarinkai Park in Kihoku Town, Kitamuro County, Mie Prefecture. It has a variety of shops including food stands selling flame-broiled fare like skewered ocean sunfish and Kii-Nagashima's famous Pacific saury sushi. The sashimi (sliced raw fish) shop makes its specialty on the spot from locally caught fish. Their specialty store offers fresh fish, eggs, koji rice malt, dried goods like mirin-boshi ocean sunfish, and special products like Owase hinoki cypress cutting boards.

    道の駅としては、物販はさほど充実しているとは感じませんでした。もともと「マンボウのフライ」が目的で立ち寄っていますから一向に構わないのですがね。ちょっとみすぼらしい風体の食堂で供されるそれは、イカフライの出来損ない、という形容が相応しいかもしれません。市販のとんかつソースをかけて食しましたが、当然次はありません。

    「年中みかんのとれる町」とうたっている道の駅に入ってみました。入ってみたら、奥が見えないぐらい広いのでビックリしましたが、道の駅はパークパーク七里御浜モール・ピネという建物の北側の一角だけで、ほとんどは地元スーパーのオークワでした。「年中みかんのとれる町」ということで、みかんを使ったお土産がたくさんありましたので、購入しました。

    Mie Pref. Kumanoshi Arimachou 137
    This roadside station along National Route 42 is in front of the gate of Japan's oldest shrine, Hana no Iwaya Shrine. You can heal your fatigue in this relaxing space filled with warmth, and that has the atmosphere of the Edo period (1603-1868). This roadside station that stands as a tea house conveys the wonders of Kumano and has shops and a material exhibition corner that surround a rest space. Besides local specialty products, they also sell udon noodles and mitarashi dango (rice dough dumplings with sweet-salty sauce) that use ancient rice varieties. In addition, they rent out bicycles and the facility is convenient as a sightseeing information base for world heritage sites such as Kumano Kodo (ancient pilgrimage routes) and Hana no Iwaya.

    何の予備知識もなく初めて駐車場に車を入れると、いったい施設はどこにあるんだろう?と思いますが、狭い入り口を抜けると趣深い施設が広がっています。ここのお昼の定食は650円と大変リーズナブルですが、内容も良く、長距離を走ってきたドライバーにはちょうどいい量でおすすめです!

    地元特産のヒノキをふんだんに使った施設で、とても気持ちが良いです。レストランでは伊勢うどんと始神丼を食べました。初めて伊勢うどんを食べましたが、ふわふわうどんと甘い醤油で美味しくいただきました。このレストランも地元で作ったと思われる家具が設置されていて、ほかのパーキングとは違う上質な雰囲気。2階の休憩室はひろびろとしており、誰もいなかったので一歳の子供がのびのび遊べました。おすすめの場所です。
