This roadside station along National Route 269 has facilities such as a farmers' market, a rest area, a restaurant, and a hot spring, but the most prominent feature is the giant 15-meter-tall statue of Yagorodon. From the statue's plaza, you can see the town spread out before you. When the roughly 1,500 cherry trees planted here are in full bloom, the area bustles with visitors from Kagoshima and beyond. ◇Typical best viewing period: Late March - Early April ◇Number of cherry trees: ~1,500 (Somei Yoshino)
