About Michi-no-Eki Fuwari Shibayama
The roadside station stands in Shibayama, south of Narita, along the road known as Shibayama Haniwa Road. The area is famous for its ancient clay figures and agricultural heritage, and it can be reached from central Tokyo in about 90 minutes by car.
Excellent fresh produce and prepared foods
Shibayama is one of Chiba’s productive farming areas, and the market’s fresh vegetables are a major attraction. Arriving earlier in the day is recommended because popular produce may sell out by evening. The prepared foods, local drinks, dressings, and bottled specialties also make convenient snacks and additions to dinner.
Souvenirs from Shibayama and Chiba
The souvenir area features products decorated with Shibayama’s mascot Shibakko-kun, including peanut-butter sable cookies. You will also find Chiba sweets, seafood products, and locally brewed sake.
Eat-in space and play area
Although there is no full restaurant, an eat-in area is available for enjoying snacks and prepared foods purchased at the market. Outside, a small playground on the lawn is a welcome place for children to stretch their legs during a drive.
