Road Station Longbuk

Surrounded by nature, spacious service area. It is the first resting point through a continuous section of the tunnel. "RINGO", a custard apple pie, is popular in the bakery "Highway Bakery", which has a reputation for homemade bread baked in the workshop in the shop. "Esprit Frito," a specialty fried bread shop at Kumamoto's first landing, is also a topic. You can enjoy a variety of unique meals, such as local dishes and a set-up menu, at the "Meal Restaurant Sannan". In particular, Tendon with a surprisingly large tachi fish tempura is exquisite! Souvenirs have a large selection of "yummy" from Kumamoto, Miyazaki and Kagoshima's southern Kyushu.

The largest service area in Minami-Kyushu, located halfway between the Uki Hikawa Smart IC and the Yatsushiro IC. The downhill line is followed by 23 tunnels ahead of the Yatsushiro IC. I want to take a break before the tunnel section. At the shops, which are lined with souvenirs in Kumamoto Prefecture, POP comments from the staff are dancing in a lively way. The food court has a full lineup of standard udon noodles, Kumamoto ramen, and Taihei Tsubame. SA's first store nationwide ''Suddenly! Steak" is also open.

The park is located in a gorge between a bluff 87m high and 210m wide created by Hikawa. The two suspension bridges connecting the promenade above the precipice are thrilling. There are three log houses (16,000 yen for 10 people) and two lodges (10,000 yen for five people) in the well-equipped campsite, including toilets and dressing rooms. There is a village house (20,000 yen for 20 people) and a barn (10,000 yen for 15 people) in the early 1950 s with a furnace, a goemon bath and a hearth, and a camp and a BBQ.
