The biggest feature of "Yenchoen" is that it is adjacent to the authentic Chinese garden "Yenchoen". The vast grounds are filled with beautiful gardens that recreate the villas of Chinese emperors, and you can see traditional Chinese architecture up close. With ponds, bridges, towers, and other features, you can feel as if you are traveling to China.

At the roadside station, there is a wide selection of fresh agricultural and seafood products from Tottori Prefecture and the San'in region, as well as souvenirs. Tottori's specialty products, such as pears and crabs, are particularly popular. In addition, the on-site restaurants offer a wide variety of food, including a restaurant serving authentic Chinese cuisine prepared by a Chinese chef and a corner where you can enjoy light meals made with local ingredients.

It is said that this was also a filming location for the TV drama "Journey to the West".

[Trivia]
The name "Yenchoen" comes from the area where the ancient Chinese countries of "Yen" and "Zhao" flourished. It was built as a symbol of the friendly partnership between Tottori Prefecture and Hebei Province in China.
