2. Things to know when choosing a roadside station or produce market in Hiroshima

To buy local vegetables inside Hiroshima City, the entrance is not a roadside station but Toretate Genkiichi, run by JA Zen-Noh Hiroshima. Hiroshima City has no roadside station, and Genkiichi has stores in Asaminami Ward and Saeki Ward. Kure City has none either; next door, Higashihiroshima City has two, Saijo Nonta no Sakagura and Kohan no Sato Fukutomi.

JA produce markets in Fukuyama are mostly open in the morning only. The 6 “Fureai-ichi” markets of JA Fukuyama and the “Tsubo-o Yugure-ichi” mostly open around 8:30 and close by noon. Days off also differ from market to market.

Some stations in the north shorten their hours in winter. The produce corner at Mai Road IC Chiyoda closes at 17:00 from December to the end of February, and the shop at Raimu Togouchi closes at 17:00 on weekdays from December to June.

For electric-vehicle charging, the national list shows free charging at Mihara Shinmei no Sato, Sera, Kohan no Sato Fukutomi and others, and paid charging at Nonta, Mai Road IC Chiyoda and others. The quick charger in the Wakuwaku Land parking lot at Raimu Togouchi ended service on November 30, 2025.

3. Shop hours and days off at 11 stations

Only Saijo Nonta no Sakagura (until 20:30, open every day) stays open into the evening; the shops at the other stations close between 16:00 and 18:00. Aristo Numakuma’s market (from 7:30 on weekends and holidays) and Sera (from 8:00) open earliest.

8. How to choose

For a stop on the way home from work or in the evening, choose Nonta no Sakagura (open until 20:30) or Toretate Genkiichi Rakurakuen (open until 21:00). If the range of vegetables matters most, plan to arrive just after opening. Crossroad Mitsugi says that many items sell out within about an hour of opening, and the Fukuyama Fureai-ichi markets are open only in the morning.

With children, look for stations with an indoor play area (Nonta, reservation needed), a kids’ space (Mihara Shinmei no Sato), a park with large play equipment (Raimu Togouchi) or a park with play equipment (Toyohira Donguri-mura). To combine a stop with a hot spring, choose Spa Rakan or Toyohira Donguri-mura. Days off cluster on Tuesdays and Wednesdays: Spa Rakan and Raimu Togouchi close on Tuesdays, Takehara on the 3rd Wednesday and Mihara Shinmei no Sato on the 3rd Tuesday. Check each station’s calendar before you go.
