We apologize, but we do not accept any returns. (This does not apply to baby food.)

We have a barbecue under the tent, so it's fine even if it rains.

We have a blindfold or a fan when it's hot, and a cold protection curtain or heating when it's cold.

Pets are available. However, please note that advance reservations are not accepted. Please come to the store on the day and we will inform you if there are any available seats available for pets.

As a general rule, pets are not allowed in restaurants or kiosks.

*Guide dogs are allowed to enter the store.
*Outdoor restaurant seats (terrace seats) are available, but please be careful to other customers.

As the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism believes that roadside stations are resting facilities, they are not allowed to use the facility in public spaces such as parking lots for accommodation purposes. Of course, roadside stations are rest facilities that can be used free of charge for drivers and others to prevent traffic accidents, so it is okay to take a nap in the parking lot. Outdoor toilets are open 24 hours a day, but there are no facilities such as showers.

*If you are parking for a long time, please take care to other customers at the edges as much as possible.
*Please be careful as we cannot be held responsible for theft or accident.
*Please take any garbage home.
*Please refrain from camping, setting up a tent, bonfires, barbecues, etc.

Since it is cold in winter, we offer free rental of cold weather clothing such as bench coats.
In early spring and late autumn, if you go out offshore, it may feel chilly due to the sea breeze, so you may prefer a warm outfit.
