Michi no eki is a unique roadside rest are in Japan. Some michi-no-eki are only 9am to 5pm, and others are 24-hour operations with vast grocery stores that rival any you'd find in a big city. There's usually at least one restaurant housed in the main michi-no-eki building, sometimes more than one, and always vending machines selling hot and cold drinks. Because each michi-no-eki showcases local products, you are likely to see flowers, produce, baked goods, coffee, and locally made crafts on sale.
Bicycle Fun in Hidaka, Hokkaido
Rest Place [Shimukappu Hokkaido] 道の駅占冠 自然体感しむかっぷ
It is the Rest palce of shimukappu.
As you are near the entrance to the highway shimukappu , you can take a breath and get a delicious soft cream, toilet break, enjoy meals and shopping before entering the expressway. I processed the local ingredients centering on the mountain vegetables of the crown, and I sell a variety of ingredients such as three soup pickles, soy sauce pickles, honey, dried mushrooms etc. So I think that it is fun to try and buy it at home and eat at home. There was a lot of ingredients that the rice seemed to advance.
There is a sweet shop and others that sell ice cream etc to it, and meals can be enjoyed when you get hungry. It seems that we deal with woodworks etc, so we sell it in a rather large space.
In the building on the opposite side, it looked like an experience facility, so take a little time and I think that you can enjoy having a different experience from usual.
It is a perfect place for you where there are few opportunities to experience nature in urban life as it is surrounded by mountains and it is a place where you can see so much naturally. The river flowed in various places around, so it seems that you can enjoy fishing as well.
