Gakuto's roadside notes

Eat and shop before entering Takayama.

The station's location and staggered opening times work together. It is just off Takayama-nishi IC: the produce market opens at 8:00, the main building at 9:00, and the restaurant at 11:00. Eating a Hida beef set meal or rice bowl here and loading up on vegetables before entering central Takayama can leave more time for the city than searching for lunch after arrival. On the return trip, plan around the souvenir shop's closing time of 17:00 (16:00 from December to March).

Highlights

Michi-no-Eki Nanamori Kiyomi is a roadside station in Kiyomi-cho, Takayama, on National Route 158 just off the Takayama-nishi interchange of the Chubu Jukan Expressway.

The snack counter offers Hida beef steak skewers and mitarashi dango, grilled rice dumplings with a sweet soy glaze. Buy seasonal vegetables and wild mountain vegetables at the produce market. The toilets, parking area, and public telephone are available 24 hours a day, making this a useful stop for a meal and shopping before entering central Takayama or on the way back.

A day headed for central Takayama

Eat lunch and shop before sightseeing in Takayama

Just off Takayama-nishi IC, this is a convenient last pause before entering the city. Have a hoba-miso grilled meat set meal or Hida beef short-rib rice bowl in the restaurant, browse the produce market, then continue downtown. Takayama Station is described as about 15 minutes away via National Route 158; eating first leaves more of your city time for sightseeing.

Takayama-nishi IC → Michi-no-Eki Nanamori Kiyomi → National Route 158 → central Takayama

The restaurant opens at 11:00. From December to March it closes at 15:00 (last order 14:30), so allow enough time to arrive if you are stopping for a winter meal.

The journey home from Takayama

Take home vegetables and local sake on the return trip

This is a place to pick up souvenirs you missed in town. The souvenir shop stocks local Hida-Takayama sake, Takayama ramen, sarubobo doll magnets, and a roadside-station commemorative ticket made of Hida beef leather. Seasonal vegetables from the produce market are practical purchases to use at home.

If there is no time to sit down, choose one item from the snack counter: a Hida beef steak skewer, Hida beef croquette, beef bun, mitarashi dango (grilled rice dumplings with sweet soy glaze), or Omisore soft-serve ice cream. Park, use the toilet, eat one local snack, and carry on.
