Located in the middle reaches of the Shimanto River, renowned as "Japan's last pure river," Roadside Station Yorite Nishitosa is a popular roadside station where you can enjoy the rich natural scenery and local cuisine. The facility features a direct sales outlet with a wide selection of fresh locally caught vegetables and fruits, river fish such as sweetfish and eel caught in the Shimanto River, as well as local sake and souvenirs. The salt-grilled sweetfish is particularly delicious, and can be enjoyed fresh on the spot. This is a must-see spot for foodies, as it allows you to fully savor the bounty of Shimanto.

The restaurant offers local flavors such as dishes made with Shimanto pork and set meals made with an abundance of seasonal local ingredients. Enjoy a magnificent view of the Shimanto River from the window and a luxurious moment savoring your meal while listening to the murmuring of the clear waters. There is also outdoor terrace seating, allowing you to dine and relax in an open space on sunny days.

The roadside station is also an ideal base for activities on the Shimanto River. Right next to the station, there are facilities where you can try canoeing and stand-up paddleboarding (SUP), allowing you to enjoy a stroll on the clear water.

[Useful Concerns]
While the roadside station is located along the Shimanto River, it is a little far from the river and does not offer immediate access to the river. Also, the river is not suitable for children to dip their feet in or swim in, so those looking to splash around in the water may be disappointed.
