Roadside Station Sabi

If you are looking for a roadside bento, this is the place to go!
The variety is abundant and the taste is superb!

The name of the product hall "Yosei Ichiba" comes from its focus on safe, secure, and healthy morning-picked vegetables and its aim of "shin-do-fuji. In particular, Sabi rice and local yosei miso (fermented soybean paste) are completely pesticide-free, organically grown, additive-free, and other safe and secure foods. The station's greatest pride is the wide variety of bento boxed lunches and their reasonable prices, ranging from 350 to 700 yen. Every spring, the station holds a lunch box lunch box vendor's meeting to introduce their newest products. As a result, the station boasts the highest popularity and sales among the many roadside stations in Kyushu.

Around Sachemi Roadside Station

Confucius Park

I'm proud of this one too.

The town's name "Sabi" is said to be derived from Sabi, the hometown of Confucius, in Shandong Province, China. Why "Confucius"? You may wonder why "Confucius"? In fact, when "Sabi Village" was established in the Meiji era, four tributaries of the Goshi River flowing through the area joined together, and as it was a village in Goshi County, it was named by combining "Goshi" and "Confucius".... Although this is a bit unreasonable, Sabi is the hometown of Confucius, and there is a park behind the station. There is a Chinese-style pavilion, which is said to be a pure reproduction of traditional Chinese cultural architecture. Why not spread out your lunch bought at the station here?

Kikuchi Valley

If you want to have fun in the area

Like "Michi no Eki Nanagi Melon Dome," Kikuchi Canyon is within a short distance from this station. This is the Kumamoto Natural Recreation Forest, selected as one of the 100 best forests for forest bathing in Japan, one of the 100 best waters in Japan, and one of the 100 best waterfalls in Japan, among others. The valley is covered with dense natural broad-leaved trees, and its clear streams create various sizes of rapids, fissures, and waterfalls, where the beautiful nature heals people's hearts.
