【道の駅特集】「道の駅あらい」過去に道の駅売り上げ日本一にも！全国的にも珍しい県内唯一のアレとの連結、飲食店の多さが人気の秘密だった【新潟県妙高市】

Michi-no-Eki Arai (Myoko City, Niigata Prefecture), which once boasted the highest sales among all roadside stations in Japan, still attracts a large number of visitors in Niigata Prefecture. In 2009, the Nikkei Glocal magazine (published by Nikkei Inc.) reported that Michi-no-Eki Arai's sales in fiscal year 2008 were the highest among all roadside stations nationwide. This was over a decade ago, but it proved that it was possible to become number one in Japan even in the Joetsu region. We spoke with station manager Masaharu Kazumi of Michi-no-Eki Arai, which is constantly competing with Niigata Furusato Village for the top spot in the prefecture, about future plans. #RoadsideStation #Arai #NiigataPrefecture [Full Original Article] Niigata Keizai Shimbun (Niigata Economic Newspaper) 2022/11/19 https://www.niikei.jp/551498/ [Related] Roadside Station Arai https://www.eki-arai.com/ ──────────── [Niikei NEWS] Please subscribe to our YouTube channel! ↓↓↓ Subscribe ↓↓↓    / @niikeinews   [Niigata Keizai Shimbun] Bringing Niigata closer to you. https://www.niikei.jp/ [Niigata Keizai Shimbun Twitter]   / niikeinews   ──────────── ＜Music＞ BGMer https://bgmer.net/ Oto no Sono http://oto-no-sono.com
