Michi-no-Eki Akune, a roadside station on National Route 3 in southern Akune City, faces the sea. Browse locally processed farm and seafood products in the product hall, and enjoy seafood dishes at Umimachi Shokudo. Add a stop for the view or a coffee break to a drive along the coast.
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) lists the dining hall as open from 11:00 to 14:00 and closed on Tuesdays. Its featured dishes include kaisendon (a bowl of rice topped with seafood) and a sashimi set meal (sliced raw fish served with rice and sides). After lunch, browse the local gifts in the product hall.
Alongside the product hall, there is a coffee stand and a donut shop. If you visit in the evening, keep the shop and dining hall hours separate when planning a stop for the view, a snack or shopping.
Closed on Tuesdays. Based on the MLIT facility listing.
