Roadside Station “Yamada” Oista

A roadside station that relocated and reopened in July 2023 near the Sanriku Coastal Road Yamada IC. The nickname "Oisuta" is a combination of oysters, a specialty of Yamada Town, and the meaning of "come on." Inside the facility, there is also a tourist information center and a restaurant where you can enjoy local specialties from Yamada Town, oysters and other seafood. In addition, there is a large parking lot and a playground for children on the premises, making it the perfect place to take a break from driving around Sanriku.
