Insider Tips
Visit during seasonal offerings and check for temporary closures to plan your trip wisely.
- Best Arrival Time: Arrive by 9:30 AM on weekdays to secure the last fresh batch of 活ホタテ (live scallops) from the in-house tank before they sell out, as the supply is replenished only once daily and typically sells out by 11:00 AM
- Hidden Gems: Visit the back corner near the deli counter to find the seasonal 干ふのり (dried seaweed) and 塩わかめ (salted wakame), which are only available from spring and are displayed in limited quantities
- Weekend Bonus: On weekends between May and October, visit the food truck area near the entrance between 11:00 AM and 1:00 PM to sample the ホッケバーガー (hokke burger), which is only served during these periods and is made with fresh local hokke fish
- Photo Opportunities: Take a photo at the large roadside sign just outside the entrance with the “オスコイ！かもえない” logo, and walk behind the building to the hillside path where you can capture the full view of the Japan Sea and the roadside station’s red roof
- Money Savers: Purchase the どらごん太のおやつ (doragon太 snacks) at the roadside station’s shop between 10:00 AM and 12:00 PM, when the staff offers a 10% discount on any two items bought together during the seasonal promotion
- Avoiding Crowds: Skip the main entrance during weekend afternoons; instead, enter through the smaller side gate near the parking lot to access the キットブルー ビューティージェル (kitblue beauty gel) display, which is less crowded and often has staff available for product demos
- Closure Alerts: Check the official website or call 0135-76-5011 before visiting, as the roadside station frequently announces temporary closures due to seasonal maintenance—especially during winter months and around the New Year period, when the shop closes from December 31 to January 3
