Hours
8:00–17:00
The MLIT Chubu Regional Development Bureau and the National Roadside Station Association list 8:00 a.m.–5:00 p.m. The Fujinomiya City Tourism Association instead lists 8:00 a.m.–7:00 p.m. normally, 8:00 a.m.–8:00 p.m. from July through September, and 8:00 a.m.–6:30 p.m. from December through March. Official guidance therefore conflicts. Individual shops may have different hours; if timing matters, confirm just before visiting. The parking lot is listed as available 24 hours.

Natsuki's stopover notes

Easy to park, easy to rest, with Mount Fuji beyond

Hirose Natsuki first looks at the parking and restrooms here, before the view. There are 72 car spaces and 11 large-vehicle spaces, with 15 men's and 18 women's restroom fixtures. There is also a free rest area, information corner and nursing room. On a long driving day, that capacity is reassuring. Then head up to the observation deck behind the building to see Mount Fuji across the grassland. You can rest first and enjoy the view afterward. Opening hours are the one point to check: some listings say the station closes at 5:00 p.m., while another gives 7:00 p.m. normally. If you plan an evening stop, call ahead.

Why I like it

Reasons to stop here

01

See Mount Fuji over the grassland from the observation deck behind the building

The observation deck behind the building is a highlight. The Fujinomiya City Tourism Association describes it as a photo spot with views of Mount Fuji across the Asagiri Kogen grassland. The view is easy to miss when driving National Route 139, so it is worth taking a few minutes to walk up after parking and using the restroom. Weather greatly affects how clearly Mount Fuji can be seen.

02

Ice-cream shop and workshop, plus expanded vegetable area and dining hall

The site has an ice-cream shop and workshop, a restaurant and market, and a local produce area. Soft-serve made by local producer Asagiri Dairy is sold here; the Fujinomiya City Tourism Association also describes the soft-serve as very popular. According to the MLIT Chubu Regional Development Bureau, the vegetable area and dining hall extension was completed in early March 2024. The National Roadside Station Association lists these regional products: edamame, green beans (sayaingen), snow peas (kinusaya), broad beans (soramame), sugar snap peas, green peas, flat Romano beans (Morocco beans), and Usui peas.

03

A well-equipped rest stop and designated disaster-response base

Parking accommodates 72 cars and 11 large vehicles, plus two accessible spaces. There are 15 men's restroom fixtures, 18 women's fixtures and two accessible fixtures; ramps are also listed. The station has a free rest area, information corner, nursing room, park and children's play area, and an ultra-rapid EV charger. MLIT designated it a disaster-response roadside station on June 11, 2021. Under Shizuoka Prefecture's wide-area support plan for a Nankai Trough earthquake, it is identified as a staging base for wide-area support teams and an alternative wide-area goods transport hub. Its facilities make it a useful stop on a long drive.

Ways to plan your stop

Spend your time at the station or add somewhere nearby. These ideas help you plan around your companions and the weather.

30–40 minutes on a day driving through National Route 139

A short break to see Mount Fuji

The parking lot has room for 72 cars and 11 large vehicles, and the restrooms have 15 men's and 18 women's fixtures. Park, use the restroom, walk up to the rear observation deck for Mount Fuji, then pick up something at the ice-cream shop and workshop. Even a brief stop can become a proper break.

Parking lot → restrooms → observation deck → ice-cream shop and workshop → departure.

Weather greatly affects the Mount Fuji view. Planning without assuming clear skies may make the visit more enjoyable.

A day focused on food and shopping

Buy highland vegetables and local specialties to take home

An extension to the vegetable area and dining hall was completed in early March 2024. The National Roadside Station Association lists edamame, green beans, snow peas, broad beans, sugar snap peas, green peas, flat Romano beans (Morocco beans), and Usui peas as regional products. Many are legumes, so in season you may be able to choose several at once. Fujinomiya City also lists a local specialties and produce area.

Parking lot → vegetable area → restaurant and market → observation deck.

The produce selection depends on the season and deliveries. If you want a particular item, stop earlier in the day.

A half-day exploring the Fujinomiya area

Pair the station with Shiraito Falls or Lake Tanuki for a half-day outing

The MLIT Chubu Regional Development Bureau lists Shiraito Falls, Lake Tanuki, Kariyado no Gebazakura and Fujisan Hongu Sengen Taisha Shrine as nearby sites. Checking road information at the station's information corner first can help you plan travel around Asagiri Kogen. Fujinomiya City also says Asagiri Food Park is adjacent.

Rest and check information at the station → Shiraito Falls or Lake Tanuki → toward Fujisan Hongu Sengen Taisha Shrine.

Check each site's hours and the travel time separately. Highland weather changes both how it feels outdoors and how far you can see.

A long drive in an electric vehicle

Combine EV charging with a break

The MLIT Chubu Regional Development Bureau lists an ultra-rapid EV charger among the facilities. Fujinomiya City says a battery-storage rapid charger became available on March 2, 2026. The observation deck, shops and free rest area offer ways to spend the charging wait.

Start charging → free rest area and information corner → observation deck → shops → departure.

Follow on-site information for charger numbers, supported connectors and hours. You may have to wait at busy times.

Visiting with children

Stars show the editorial recommendation for each age group on a five-point scale. Read the reasons alongside each rating.

Age 1 and under
★★★★☆

A nursing room and many restroom fixtures make this a convenient stop while traveling.

The MLIT Chubu Regional Development Bureau lists a nursing room, available since early March 2024; the National Roadside Station Association lists a baby bed. Accessible restrooms and ramps are also listed. As this is a highland, outdoor temperatures can feel quite different from those in town, depending on the season.

Ages 2–3
★★★★☆

The park and children's play area offer a place for a short play break outside the car.

The facilities list includes a park and children's play area. With shops and the rest area nearby, it is easy to break the visit into a little play, a snack and a return to the car.

Ages 4–6
★★★★☆

Combining the observation deck and play area gives the visit a clear purpose.

The rear observation deck is described as a photo spot for Mount Fuji across the grassland. Playing in the park before going up to the deck can reduce time spent waiting.

Elementary school age
★★★★☆

Mount Fuji and the Asagiri highland landscape can be talking points before exploring nearby sites.

MLIT lists Shiraito Falls, Lake Tanuki, Kariyado no Gebazakura and Fujisan Hongu Sengen Taisha Shrine nearby. Check road information at the station's information corner before setting off and make the journey part of the outing.

Nursing and diaper changes

Check signs on site for its location. Access hours may follow the facility's opening hours.

Restrooms

The parking lot is listed as available 24 hours. Follow on-site signs for whether the restrooms can be used at night.

Play

Check on site what play equipment is available. Allow extra time if children will want to run around.

Parking

There is ample capacity, but it can be busy around midday in the tourist season. Arriving when a space near the entrance is available may be easier with small children.

Highland climate

An extra layer can make time at the observation deck or play area more comfortable.

Event

Make an event part of your visit

Permanent spaces and dated events are listed separately. Events can change both the atmosphere and crowds; use the official links for details.

Adjacent Asagiri Food Park

Fujinomiya City says Asagiri Food Park is next to the station. It is a separate facility, so check its own opening days and facilities if you plan to visit both.
