Roadside Station Kasaoka Bay Farm in Kasaoka City, Okayama Prefecture, is known for its vast flower fields and fresh seafood from the Seto Inland Sea. Depending on the season, the area is filled with sunflowers, cosmos, poppies, and other flowers, making it a popular Instagram spot.
Kasaoka Bay Farm Roadside Station is located on the vast land of the Kasaoka Bay reclaimed land, and is known for its beautiful flower fields that change with the seasons. Colorful flowers attract tourists throughout the year, such as rape blossoms and poppies in spring, sunflowers in summer, and cosmos in autumn. The most spectacular sight is when about 1 million sunflowers and 10 million poppies are in full bloom, and the carpet of flowers that fills the entire area is truly a magnificent sight. There is also a promenade in the flower fields, and it is crowded with people who enjoy taking photos while strolling.

Another big attraction of the roadside station is the fresh seafood that has just been caught in the Seto Inland Sea. In particular, the fresh fish delivered directly from Kasaoka Port is popular for its amazing freshness and reasonable price. There are also rare local fish that you can only see locally, which is irresistible for fish lovers. The staff will teach you how to eat fish, so you can buy it with confidence even if it is your first time. Depending on the season, there is also a "Fish Packing" event where you can fill your bag with lively fish, creating a lively atmosphere.

The direct sales store also has a wide selection of fresh local vegetables, fruits, and processed foods. At the restaurant "Shikisai," you can enjoy a buffet-style meal that makes use of local seafood and mountain produce, providing a memorable dining experience. Kasaoka Bay Farm, a roadside station where you can enjoy both beautiful flowers and seasonal delicacies, is the perfect spot for a break from driving or a family trip.
