Michi no Eki Furubira Tarako Museum

道の駅 ふるびらたらこミュージアム

Hokkaido

Michi no Eki Furubira Tarako Museum is a roadside station on National Route 229 in Furubira, built around the town's principal product, tarako cod roe. It combines a produce shop, a restaurant and a takeaway counter with exhibition and workshop space explaining how the roe is salted and processed, and it opened in April 2025. Opening hours are shorter from November to March than in the main April-to-October season.

Why we picked it

The first roadside station in Japan built around a single seafood product, opened recently enough that it appears in almost no English-language guidance for the peninsula.
