Roadside Station Yogansu Hakuryu is located in Waki, Yamatocho, Mihara City, Hiroshima Prefecture, on the shores of the beautiful Lake Hakuryu. The building has a white Western-style exterior and stands out against the lake.

The biggest attraction of this roadside station is the authentic pizza baked in a wood-fired oven (stone oven). The pizza, made with plenty of seasonal vegetables and Yamato lotus root harvested locally in Yamatocho, is renowned for its fragrant dough and chewy texture, and many people visit from far away. In addition to pizza, the restaurant RESTAURANT YOGANSU offers pasta and creative Italian cuisine made with seasonal local ingredients, organic coffee, and sweets made with local fruits, allowing you to enjoy a leisurely meal.

At the Yogansu Farmers Market, a local product center, you can find a wide variety of fresh, locally grown products, including Yamato lotus root, a specialty of Yamatocho, Mihara City, as well as seasonal vegetables and fruits, pearl barley products, freshly baked bread, and original brand products. Dressings, sprinkles, and pearl barley oil made with perilla (pearl) are especially popular souvenirs. The store also sells its own brand of local sake, called "YOGANSU Sake," and you can purchase limited edition brews made with local rice.

Lake Hakuryu, which changes its appearance with the seasons, spreads out below the roadside station. The lakeside area is perfect for strolling, walking, and cycling, and just spending a relaxing time looking at the lake is soothing. Roadside Station Yogansu Hakuryu, which combines local flavors with beautiful nature, is an attractive tourist spot that can be enjoyed not only as a rest area but also as a destination.
