Michi no Eki Narusawa is a convenient stop before or after a drive on National Route 139 toward the Fuji Five Lakes or Aokigahara. The produce hall carries seasonal Narusawa greens, corn, blueberries, and processed foods. At the snack counter, try sendo soba, rice mixed with Narusawa greens, or Fujizakura soft serve for a quick taste of the area. The adjacent Narusawa Mount Fuji Museum and nature trail, plus Fujichobo no Yu Yurari hot springs a short drive away, give families options in rain or sunshine.
Combine seasonal vegetables from the produce hall, sendo soba and Fujizakura soft serve from the snack counter, and Fujin no Meisui spring water in one stop. Even on a day when you are hurrying to another attraction, choosing one local item makes the stop feel distinctly Narusawa.

Fujichobo no Yu Yurari is a few minutes away by car, and children can move around on the grass at Narusawa Ikiiki Square. Together they can turn a bathroom break into a half day outing.
Spend your time at the station or add somewhere nearby. These ideas help you plan around your companions and the weather.
