A super hidden gem! It's not crowded, there are restrooms, and light snacks available. Plus, you can take as many photos and videos as you want with this breathtaking view... Since there are few people, we were able to relax and enjoy the scenery before heading to Nakijin! The Satsuma chips, which seem to be exclusive to this service area, were delicious! And of course, we also had Blue Seal ice cream. 💞Recommended because: It's not crowded, and you can relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery. 📍Location: 1261 Igei, Kin Town, Kunigami District, Okinawa 904-1202

#thingstodo Pretty rest stop with ocean views and gardens! Had a food stand, a store and a ticket restaurant inside. The downfall, if you're on a bus tour and there are a lot of busses the wait to use a bathroom is 15-20minutes for females.I really like this station, it's a great place to make a break before continuing north. There is a vending machine with ice creams and a shop where you can buy local snacks. You can also walk in a small garden and get into a higher spot for a sight seeing over the nearby sea.
