This is a mansion of a wealthy family, with a Western-style house, billiard room, and garden. It's a famous example of Meiji-era architecture.

The whole rest stop is shaped like a melon—it's so cute, you just have to stop and take a photo! The melon desserts and ice cream inside are delicious—sweet and fragrant, totally comforting. You can also buy local produce, so it really has that local flavor. If you're driving by, definitely stop in for some melon treats and souvenirs!

There's a foot bath right at the entrance, so you can soak your feet and enjoy the snowy scenery in winter.

If it's not autumn foliage season, there's really not much to see.
