Roadside Station Oga - Oga

Oga City is famous as a tourist spot in Akita Prefecture. Kanfuyama, which I introduced yesterday, is one of them. A new tourist spot has been created in Oga City! Its name is "Namahage no Sato Ogare", which is the nickname of Roadside Station Oga. Opened on July 1, 2018. It was built as a complex tourist facility in Oga City in front of Oga Station on the JR Oga Line. On the same day, a new station building at Oga Station will open, both of which will be the gateway to the new Oga! I arrived around 8:30, but there were already a lot of people. The temperature was high, so it seems that you are buying Akita's specialty frozen dessert "Babahera Ice" (* ^^ *) There are also people who take a restroom break or stay in the car. However, the restaurant and product hall were not open because it was time (^ _ ^;) We recommend the gelato ice cream called "GAO gelato". As you can see from the product name, it is a light meal corner operated by Oga Aquarium GAO. This gelato is a cooperating shop of the popular gelato shop "Matsubokkuri" in Shizukuishi Town, Iwate Prefecture. You can also enjoy that quality gelato here (# ^. ^ #) There is also a service where you can get a 50 yen discount on the software by showing the admission ticket to Oga Aquarium GAO, and discount the admission fee to Oga Aquarium GAO ​​by showing the receipt of Gaogera. And "Oga Sightseeing Premium Passport" is a very advantageous passport that allows you to enter the 5 facilities of Namahage Museum, Oga Mayama Tradition Museum, Oga Aquarium GAO, Kampuyama Rotating Observatory, and Nyudozaki Lighthouse for 1,000 yen. That's not the only great deal on this passport! There is a 500 yen discount coupon that can be used for souvenirs, meals, experiences, and tours of Namahage drums at member stores (* ^^) v There is tourist information on Akita prefecture as well as Oga city, so please stop by (# ^. ^ #)

I stopped by on the way back from the aquarium GAO. I happened to stop by on the day it opened, so I had a brilliant atmosphere at that time in my head. This time it was a weekday, so it was a quiet impression. Oga pear, Zuwai crab, etc. I went there in the afternoon, but there was a lot of variety. I didn't think the price was very cheap, but the variety of seafood was plentiful.

According to the weather forecast, it was raining or the weather was getting worse, but it wasn't as bad as I expected, and I visited while thinking that the forecast was good. I used to go camping on the Oga Peninsula when my children were small, and it was a long time ago, but I felt that it was quite different from that time. First, there wasn't such a nice roadside station. I was looking through restaurants, vegetable stores, and information centers, and when I casually turned to the outside, it suddenly started to rain with tremendous force. There was a breeze and it was raining sideways. After all it seems that the weather forecast was correct. Wait for the rain to lighten and dash to the car. I was planning to go around the roadside station in about two more places, but I gave up and decided to go home. I ran back on the Akita Expressway and the Tohoku Expressway.

It's just outside Oga station. The restaurant is delicious, but it's expensive, and the Menchi-katsu 500 yen ↑ is a little bit. Therefore, I think that the locals rarely use it. The products are lively and lively. Things that look delicious are here and there ... If you want to fill your stomach while traveling, I think it's better to buy a small one from a product store or a store such as a kitchen car and eat it.

I stopped by for the first time. The appearance did not look like a roadside station, and I thought it was a local supermarket. You can see that the seafood is fresh and focused. Oga is a seafood.
