The surrounding area of road station is a complete tour planning area. in addition to road station itself must have restaurant, tourist information and shop. There are old local farmer house for "Pioneering Memorial". For local specialty agricultural products ,peas, they have "Mr. Peas's House" to introduce "Peas" 整個道之站的周邊地區其實是一個規劃完整的觀光區,除了道之站本身一定有的餐廳、旅遊資訊外,周邊還有當地物產販賣處、以當地農家歷史為主題的「開拓記念館」、以當地特產豆類為主題的「ビーンズ邸」(Peas宅邸),以相當多方面來完整的推銷中礼內這個地方。其中ビーンズ邸是個很有趣的概念,由於豆類是中礼內當地的主要農產,這也正是甜點的原料,也因此才會有這些甜點工廠設在這裡。因此設計者虛擬出了一個「豆畑拓男」的人物,通稱為Mr. ビーンズ(Mr. Peas),是個在十勝地區致力於研究豆類農作的人,而「ビーンズ邸」正是他的家,因此這棟房子內有許多豆類農產的資料與展示;因為「豆畑拓男」現在正在世界各地旅遊尋找更多豆類的新知識,所以他就把這房子開放給大家免費參觀。這實在是很有趣的資料展示館的概念。

For a roadside rest area this place is pretty nice. There are a couple of stalls selling chicken shish kebobs (yakitori) and chicken nuggets (zangi) which are pretty tasty. There are also 2 restaurants which we didn't eat at. You can also buy local products, produce, and flowers at a couple of shops there. Try the packaged Sonomama frozen green soy beans. Already cooked, you can eat them as soon as they thaw. Or warm them up in your micro-wave.
