Hana Road Eniwa, which opened in 2006 and underwent a complete renovation in 2020, is a place that symbolizes Eniwa City, the "town of flowers." Colorful flowers are displayed all over the exterior of the building.

The bright and open building sells not only souvenirs, but also original products that you'll want to buy to take home for yourself.

We especially recommend the baked goods section. Since Eniwa is famous for its pumpkin production, you'll find many sweets made with pumpkin.

Clockwise from the top left in the photo, "Eniwa no Miri" (324 yen including tax), "Eniwa no Niwa Pumpkin Pie" (237 yen including tax), "Kuri Matcha Nanka" (270 yen including tax), "Eni Dora" (194 yen including tax), and "Eniwa Sable" (140 yen including tax). All of them are carefully made to bring out the flavor of the ingredients and are really delicious! By the way, the most popular item is the "Eni Dora".

The bakery corner where you can buy freshly baked bread is also interesting, but the highlight of the roadside station is the restaurant. Here, you can eat in a playful space that is filled with camping equipment. It's sure to get the kids excited!

Many people were eating the "Konayuki Ton Ton Grilled Bacon Vegetable Curry" (1,120 yen including tax). "Konayuki Ton Ton" is the name of the free-range pigs from Ecorin Village, an ecological theme garden in Eniwa. Not only does the bacon look impressive lying down, but it's also served in a skillet, making it both delicious and fun!

Another dish that uses Konayuki Tonton is the "Pork Bun" (280 yen including tax). When you break it open, a delicious aroma hits you! You can really taste the pork, and it's very filling.

For dessert, how about the "Soft Serve Ice Cream" (350 yen including tax). Bocca's soft serve ice cream, made with milk from Hokkaido, melts in your mouth. Roadside stations and soft serve ice cream are inseparable.
