Michi no Eki Osukoi! Kamoenai

道の駅 オスコイ!かもえない

Hokkaido

The only roadside station on the Shakotan Peninsula route, sitting on Route 229 (the historic 'Herring Road') at the south exit of the Omori Tunnel in Kamoenai village, with local seafood, produce and a rest area overlooking the Sea of Japan.

Why we picked it

It's a working-village rest stop named after an old herring-fishing rowing chant, popular with road-trippers refueling en route to Shakotan but rarely a destination in its own right.
