Ariake Tako Road

cute stop in route

nothing spectacular. best is to park your car up near the observation deck where you can also have some food - the takoyaki is NOT good but ok.... take some pictures and move forward

Michi no EKI closes early

Original Text

At the Ariake Bussankan at the roadside station, both the dining room and the souvenir shop were closed at 17:00. There are many restaurants nearby for lunch, but I have the impression that there are few places to eat at night. I came to the octopus road, so I wanted to eat delicious octopus.

It's quite grotesque!

　The place called "Ariake" where Ariake Road Station is located on Amakusa Kamijima seems to be a famous octopus producing area. At the product corner of the roadside station, many Ariake octopus products were lined up. On the sea side of the national highway running near the coast of the roadside station, there was a monument written on this "Amakusa Ariake Octopus Highway". It's a huge monument that has half its body out of the octopus, but it's quite real and grotesque.

A huge monument

　National Highway ３２４ Route that runs along the coastline on the north side of Amakusa Uejima. Just around China and Korea on the island seems to be an area called "Ariake". This Ariake is a very famous place for octopus. There was a huge octopus monument along the national highway. It's a very beautiful beach, but this monument was unbalancedly real and grotesque.

and it had an impact.

I visited on a rainy day and it was in a place where I had to get wet from the ripples. The object was impactful and interesting. The table where the smartphone was placed in front of me was also prepared and the timer was able to be taken.
