Roadside Station Kikusui

Canoeing, camping, hot tub facilities
Nice to stay in the car after shopping.

The produce center sells a wide variety of fruits grown in Wasui, including watermelons, melons, kiwis, pears, grapes, persimmons, and mandarin oranges. The station's processing plant also produces buns, dumplings, and tofu, all of which can be purchased freshly made. Soy milk is secretly popular among regular customers. A restaurant directly operated by the pig farm offers a menu featuring "Hinomoto Pork," an original brand of pork. In addition, visitors can spend a full day canoeing on the Kikuchi River, BBQing, and camping (registration not included). The hot spring facility is not in operation at this time.

If you want to have fun in the area

The roadside station is adjacent to the Edafuneyama Tumulus, a national historic site, and the area around the tumulus has been developed into the Edafuneyama Tumulus Park. The burial mound has unearthed a large sword with a silver inlay inscription, one of the oldest in Japan. Part of the park is "Higo Minka Mura," where old private houses from various regions have been relocated. There are seven old private houses, including the former Sakai family residence (designated as a national important cultural property) built in March 1830. There is also a history and folklore museum, an art museum using an old private house, and various hands-on activities such as woodworking, pottery making, and lodging in an old private house.
