    Wakayama Ito-gun Kudoyamacho Nyugo 5-5
    This farmer's market is attached to Roadside Station Kaki-no-Sato Kudoyama in Kudoyama Town. It sells local produce as well as jam and other processed products. Persimmon is a local specialty of Kudoyama Town, so the market is stocked with both fresh and dried permissions from the area's many farms during the persimmon season. The market also carries a good selection of seasonal fruit delivered from places including Katsuragi Town and Kinokawa City. One of the market's attractions is that it carries not only local specialties but also a variety of daily necessities. This makes it a destination not just for buying souvenirs while sightseeing but also for a little everyday shopping.

    弘法太師さまの母公のお寺として有名な慈尊院のすぐ近くにありました。和歌山ということでみかん、梅はもちろん、マスカットや柿などその時期の旬のフルーツがたくさんお値打ちに販売されていました。また生鮮食料品も一緒にあるので道の駅というよりほぼ食品スーパーです。地元の方が多いのか、2時すぎでもかなり混雑していました。
