[2025 Koka Shopping Mall] Travel Guide for Tsuchiyama Service Area (Inbound/Outbound) (Updated Mar)

The Tsuchiyama Service Area in Tsuchiyama-cho, Koka City, is located on the Shin-Meishin Expressway between Kameyama and Kusatsu, and is a rare rest facility with both inbound and outbound lanes. Local customers who do not use the expressway can also use it for shopping and dining, and as a bus stop. There is a shop with a wide selection of souvenirs from Kansai, Nagoya, and Ise, and a food court where you can eat noodles, rice bowls, curry, and set meals, both of which are open 24 hours a day. In addition, there is a convenience store (open 24 hours a day), a restaurant where you can eat Omi beef, a pizza shop, a shop selling tempura musubi, fried seaweed, takoyaki, dorayaki, pork buns, and a lottery ticket counter, making it a great place to relax. Seven-Eleven is recommended.

This is a service station on the expressway from Kyoto to Osaka, with no village ahead and no store behind. But the convenience store in the station is almost catching up with the supermarket, brightly lit, with food, daily necessities, local specialties, and crafts filling the shelves, and the prices are not much different from those in the city. The cashier is patient and enthusiastic, but unfortunately, they don't speak Chinese. Outside, there are trash bins with very detailed classification, and through the pictures, we can still follow the meticulous waste sorting rules. The toilets are the most surprising, clean and refreshing, but I wouldn't take pictures inside them .

This is Tsuchiyama SA (inbound) on the Shin-Meishin Expressway in Koka City, Shiga Prefecture. This service area is a centralized service area with no barriers between the inbound and outbound lanes (towards Nagoya and Osaka). There is a 7-Eleven convenience store, and the food court "Manpuku Shokudo" and souvenir shop are open 24 hours a day. "Nishikawa Bread" is only available in the Kansai region. "Tsuchyama Tea" is sold in a vending machine style.
