Roadside Station Marine Dream Nou

Seafood focused michi-no-eki

I love michi no eki for their regional specialties, and Roadside Station Marine Dream Nou in Niigata's Itoigawa area is a fun spot for seafood fans. I am not the biggest fan of the raw stuff, but there's a place here that sells Western-style battered fish and calamari rings, and it's the closest I've had to fish and chips from my home country. There's also snow crab which is apparently the specialty here, but I didn't try it so I can't comment on that! Plenty of parking as you'd expect from a michi no eki, and the coastal location is pleasant for a stroll.
