Washi no Sato is a roadside station at the foot station of the Tairyūji Ropeway in Naka Town. It has a shop, dining venues, and a tourist product hall, making it a place to stop before or after visiting Tairyūji Temple. Ropeway service and dining hours differ, so plan each part of your visit separately.
The Shikoku roadside-station guide lists the ropeway and station shop from 8:00 to 16:40; 16:40 is the ropeway’s last uphill departure. Check with the ropeway operator for changes to service due to weather or other conditions. The listed hours for the tourist product hall and trick-art attraction are 8:00 to 17:00.
Local specialties include kakimaze, a Naka-style mixed sushi rice dish made with yuzu vinegar, vegetables, and beans, along with Awa bancha tea and Kito yuzu vinegar.
