They are using the area where Kansai International Airport's landfill sand was loaded as a roadside station. It is like a fishing park facility.

On July 11, 2015, it was the final day of the Osaka Michi no Eki (roadside station) tour. Starting from "Nose (Kurinosato)", we visited four Michi no Eki in the Kawachi area last time. This time, we headed to the remaining three Michi no Eki in the Izumi area. After getting off at the Kishiwada Izumi Interchange on the Hanwa Expressway and visiting "Izumi Yamainai no Sato", we turned back and arrived at the second Michi no Eki of the day, "Aiai Land". After a little shopping and a light meal, we entered the Hanwa Expressway again from the Kishiwada Izumi Interchange, took a break at the Kishiwada Service Area (downhill), and then headed to "Totto Park Koshima", located even further south and west than Kansai Airport, Pichipichi Beach, Kirameki Beach, and Misaki Park. Upon entering, we saw photos of fish caught by users displayed, and farmed red snapper was also being sold. It had a unique feel of a sea fishing park. Inside the building, there was a shop where I bought Tsujishige Seika's Izumi Octopus Rice Crackers (mayonnaise flavor). There was also a soy sauce flavor available. They also had shredded seaweed salad and seaweed salad. Afterwards, I walked along the pier at the back of the building where there were "Totto Shokudo" and "Restaurant House", but I didn't use them and headed home. When I got home, I immediately tried the Izumi Octopus Rice Crackers. They were rich in flavor, made with plenty of Izumi octopus, seasoned and mixed with rice cake. The mayonnaise flavor was also good. It would go well with beer. I don't drink at home, so I had it with tea. It was delicious.

On July 11, 2015, I embarked on a journey to visit 8 roadside stations in Osaka. Starting from "Nose Kurinogo" in Nose Town, known as the Tibet of Osaka, in March, I then visited "Shiratori no Sato Habe no" in Minamikawachi in May, followed by "Chikatsu Asuka no Sato", "Kanan", and "Chihaya Akasaka", totaling 4 roadside stations. Now, I am heading towards the remaining 3 roadside stations in Senshu. First, I visited "Izumiyama Ainori" along the outer loop line in Izumi City, and then I went to "Aisai Land" in Kishiwada, and finally, I will make my way to the last roadside station, "Totto Park Oshima". I took the Hanwa Expressway from Kishiwada IC to Izumisano IC and then headed towards Misaki Town on National Route 26. Along the way, there was a new bypass that allowed for comfortable driving. However, around "Misaki Park", there was slow-moving traffic. It seems like this area is always congested. When I reached the sea, about 42km from the roadside station "Aisai Land", I saw a pier made of steel beams extending into the sea, with two cute fish-shaped dome buildings on top. What is this place? I parked my car in the mountain-side parking lot, which was full of cars, and I noticed the cute red-painted Misaki Town Community Bus circulating. This roadside station is mainly focused on a sea fishing park. As I entered, I saw a large sea bream swimming in a tank, which could be purchased for 1800 yen per fish to take home. If you couldn't catch any, you could pretend to have caught one and buy it. There was a small souvenir shop ahead, and I bought the following: ◆ Izumisato Chirimen Salad 350 yen (tax included) - Rice cracker made by mixing chirimen-jako harvested in the sea of Osaka Izumi with mochi rice. It is lightly salted after being fried in rapeseed oil, with a few pieces of kelp added. It has a strong aroma of chirimen-jako and a sweet taste despite being salty, making it a delicious rice cracker. When you open the glass door, you can see the steel beam pier extending into the sea. At the end of the observation deck, there are circular dome-shaped "Totto Dining" with cute fish illustrations and a long, rectangular dome-shaped "Rest House" resembling kamaboko. The tip and the bottom of the building's pier are crowded with many anglers, making it a lively "sea fishing park". The refreshing sea breeze and the exciting atmosphere made this place very enjoyable! Let's go inside the dining and rest houses to explore. Bon appétit!
