Q. The difference between a roadside station and a direct sales store
A. Roadside stations are rest facilities and sales offices certified by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, and there are more than 1,200 locations nationwide. Direct sales stands vary in size and are run by agricultural cooperatives or individuals. In both places, you can buy fresh local produce at low prices.
Q. Price is cheaper than supermarket
A. Vegetables and fruits are often 30-50% cheaper. However, the quality varies and there are many irregular shapes. Processed products (pickles, jams, etc.) can be a little expensive as they are local specialties.
Q. The opening hours of the morning market are
A. Most peak hours are from 6am to 10am. The specialty agricultural products are sold out within an hour of opening. We recommend going early in the morning, as the number of items often decreases dramatically after 10am.
Q. Recommended roadside stations
A. There are famous roadside stations all over the country, such as ``Roadside Station Mother Farm'' (Chiba), ``Roadside Station Minami Haga'' (Hyogo), and ``Roadside Station Nakasatsunai'' (Hokkaido). One of the ways to enjoy it is to stop by while traveling.
Q. How to pay
A. Although primarily cash-based, cashless options have recently increased. PayPay, transportation IC, and credit cards are generally accepted. It is safe to bring cash just in case.
