Only 6 days left until the "Michi-no-Eki Kitagawa Hayuma Renewal Opening 1st Anniversary Festival"!!

By July 2023, with the support of Nobeoka City and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, Kitagawa Hayuma Roadside Station underwent renovations including the creation of a parking lot exclusively for large vehicles, a complete renovation of the parking lot and restrooms, expansion of the restaurant, construction of a new restaurant kitchen, creation of a new takeout corner, expansion of the local products store, and renovation of the bakery and confectionery workshop. To commemorate this, the Kitagawa Hayuma Roadside Station Renewal Open Festival was held for the entire month of July 2023.
