Roadside station Kihocho Umigame-park

Roadside station Kihocho Umigame-park combines a rest area with an educational aquarium facility along Japan National Route 42 in Mie Prefecture. The station serves travelers with amenities while providing exhibits about regional marine life.

The station opened in 1993 as part of Japan's nationwide network of roadside rest areas designed to support travelers and local communities. This type of combined facility reflects a broader initiative to make long journeys more convenient.

The facility features exhibits about sea turtles and marine life, connecting visitors with local coastal environmental education and conservation efforts in this region.

The station is open daily from 8:30 AM to 7:00 PM with free parking, restrooms, and areas for shopping local products. Visitors can easily access the facility and find all necessary amenities for a brief stop.

The station integrates marine education with traditional rest stop services, making it the only combined aquarium and rest facility in the Minamimuro district. This hybrid design appeals to both travelers needing a break and those seeking learning experiences on the road.
