There are many “Michi-no-Eki” in Okinawa Prefecture.
They offer a wide variety of vegetables, meat, and fish that are better priced than those found in supermarkets.
They also have restaurants and eateries that are perfect for a quick bite to eat, and are always crowded.
Michi no Eki Ginoza is located in Ginoza Village in the northern part of Okinawa Prefecture.
Since it was reopened about 5 years ago, it is a very beautiful facility with space for children to play, making it a place where everyone can have fun.
Point 1: We have a variety of delicious food from Ginoza.
Mirai Ginoza Specialty Products Processing and Direct Sales Center is a place where you can buy prefectural products.
Vegetables and fruits from Ginoza, as well as sweets made from them, are sold here.
The name of the producer is written on the products, and the manufacturing process of the processed products is clearly explained.
Looking around the sales floor from corner to corner, time passed quickly.
I wanted to make sure I got all the rare items, most of which are only available here.
Point 2: Excellent facilities and equipment.
To the right of the “Mirai Ginoza Specialty Products Processing and Direct Sales Center” is a three-story building.
It is used for a variety of purposes, including a place to disseminate tourist information, a place to freely eat and drink, and a terrace with a view, providing a full range of services that are especially attractive to tourists.
On the second floor is COFFEE & BREAK GINOZA FARM LAB, which offers a café menu using Ginoza ingredients.
In particular, hearty hamburgers are a specialty here.
The open space of the restaurant is also integrated with the terrace, which offers an ocean view.
Point 3: The Uchina time flows leisurely.
Although this “Roadside Station GINOZA” faces the road, traffic is light (depending on the day of the week and time of day) because of its location in northern Okinawa.
Listening to the sound of the ocean waves, time passes slowly.
It is also a place where locals come to have lunch, and the best part of sightseeing is that you can feel the strong Okinawan characteristics.
You can stop by on your way to the northern part of the island, or you can just come here for the sake of it.
Anyway, the ocean is beautiful, so be sure to take the best picture as a memory of your trip!
