Michi-no-Eki Komono is a roadside station and local products center on Yunoyama Road (National Route 477). The first floor offers tourist information and locally produced goods, while the Komono Town Tourism Association is on the second floor. Stop here for Komono souvenirs such as foods made with makomo, a local grass, and Banko ware pottery.
The shop carries makomo somen (thin wheat noodles), dorayaki (sweet filled pancakes), waffles and throat lozenges. Alongside these foods, you can compare Banko ware pottery and local farm produce when choosing souvenirs.
The first floor has shopping and tourist information; the Komono Town Tourism Association is on the second floor. Gather information about the town before or after visiting Yunoyama Onsen (hot springs) or the Gozaisho area.
The former Makomo no Sato dining area closed in August 2020. Plan to browse souvenirs and gather tourist information rather than count on having lunch inside the building.
Closed over the year-end and New Year holidays.
Food, shopping and nearby outings, with links to the information sources.
