The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's view is that roadside stations are rest facilities, and therefore the use of public spaces such as parking lots for overnight stays is discouraged. Of course, roadside stations are rest facilities that drivers and others can use free of charge 24 hours a day to prevent traffic accidents, so you are free to take a nap in the parking lot. Outdoor toilets are available 24 hours a day, but there are no facilities such as showers

*If parking for an extended period, please park in a spot as far to the side as possible to be considerate of other customers.
*Please be aware that we cannot be held responsible for theft or accidents.
