Michi-no-Eki Official Website

Michi-no-Eki means “Roadside Station”. The Michi-no-Eki system was launched twenty years ago to create a safe, comfortable road traffic environment, and unique, lively spaces that showcased the individuality of a region. Each Michi-no-Eki has three distinct features: “Refresh” (rest facilities that include free 24-hour parking and restrooms), “Community” (regional co-operation where cultural centres, tourist attractions, recreation and other local development facilities promote interaction with the region), and “Information” (with road, tourist and emergency care information readily available).
