Yuki-no-Furusato Yasuzuka Roadside Station

A roadside station on National Route 403 in Yasuzuka Ward, Joetsu City, Niigata Prefecture. In the Yukidaruma Bussan Kan (Snowman Product Hall) there is not only an information terminal and rest area but also an area which sells local products such as local vegetables and rice, sasa dango (dumplings wrapped in bamboo grass), and snow aged sake. Homemade gelato and freshly ground coffee are popular at the snack corner. There is also a soba restaurant which serves popular dishes like soba topped with grated hot daikon (radish), and other soba dishes made with buckwheat from Joetsu City. It’s quite an unusual spot because it uses a snow room for storage and cooling so visitors can see snow even during the summer.
