Gohyakugawa PA

Got to love a PA with a Ministop!

Gohyakugawa is a parking area (PA) on the Ban-etsu Expressway. There is one "inbound", if you are going east to connect with the Tohoku, and one "outbound" if you are going west to Niigata. Both have a Ministop reportedly, but we only stopped at the inbound Parking area. The bit of the Ban-etsu we saw, most of the parking areas only had toilets and vending machines. So it was nice to find one with a convenience store. 7-11 maybe the most famous convenience store, but my family and I prefer Ministop for their food! Particularly their fries and ice-cream. Apart from the Ministop, toilets and vending machine, the only other thing this PA has is a smoking area!
