A roadside station built on the site of the former Mon Elementary School Mitagai Branch along National Route 455 from the Morioka direction. Based on the concept of an old elementary school, it has a ``purchasing department'' (store) and a ``lunch room'' (cafeteria), creating a nostalgic space. Nearby, there are limestone caves such as Ryusendo Cave, one of Japan's three major limestone caves, a nationally designated natural monument, and Yasuya Cave, the longest in Japan with a total length of over 10,000 meters.
