Kirara Ajisu Roadside Station

This roadside station offers stores with local fresh vegetables, seafood from the Seto Inland Sea, local specialty products Kanzuke and Shoyudama, and bread and mochi freshly made on-site, and restaurants. We recommend you try the Panpokin karinto (deep-fried snacks) made from sweet, firm Kurimasaru pumpkins. Kirara Ajisu Roadside Station is also an ideal place to exchange information because many cyclists come here.
Akiyoshidai Karst Observation Deck

This observation deck offers a whole panoramic view of Japan’s largest karst landscape. A new tourism center, the “Karstar” at Mine Akiyoshidai Geo Park, has opened next to Akiyoshidai Observation Deck. It offers tourist information, provides advisories, and includes a free rest space and café in its role as Geo Park’s visitor center.

The “Takibiraki” event takes place here on the first Sunday of July each year. Visitors can enjoy nagashi somen in summer and colorful leaves in fall.
Beppubenten Pond

Next to Mito Roadside Station is Kasen Park, where ducks swim leisurely in the water. This is a good place to get local specialty items, such as Mito burdock root and burdock root products. The ice cream made from local Mine products, such as summer oranges, chestnuts, and persimmons, is popular.
