Seafood lunch set
The small building and porch offers views over the bay, and the views of the sunsets here are particularly stunning. There are a couple of photography spots to get some photos. Inside, they have quaint seafood lunch box sets that are available to purchase. Also, there is ice cream and drinks. The best part, though, is that this rest stop offers free coffee! There are benches and tables to sit and eat and enjoy the sea breeze. Across the road is the recently built ‘Airodo Atsuta Rest Stop’ and although this newer, larger building is more frequented, the Ai Road Yuhinooka, is a great little place to check out.
