happy new year.

Thank you very much for your support last year.

Last year, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism carried out renovations to the first parking lot and the first parking lot restroom building, and Nobeoka City added a restaurant, relocated the takeout corner, and expanded the sales area, resulting in a significant improvement in our facilities.

In particular, our take-out counter has seen improved equipment, allowing us to offer products that are easier for customers to use, and both our bakery and confectionery workshop have achieved strong sales since the beginning of summer. Furthermore, our other shops and restaurants have also recovered to levels exceeding those before the COVID-19 pandemic since early autumn. We are deeply grateful for the support of our customers, which has made all of this possible.

This year, we plan to enhance our outdoor facilities and establish a new prepared food workshop. We will also be holding numerous events, including collaborative events with roadside stations not only within Miyazaki Prefecture but also in Kyushu and Okinawa, a monthly bread fair, and a fruit and agricultural product fair. All of our staff will do their best to ensure that our customers are excited this year as well. We sincerely ask for your continued patronage this year.
