Salmon Park Chitose was renewed and reopened on August 26th due to a change in designated management. In a news video from the pre-opening on the 24th, the head of the new designated management company expressed his ambition to promote "Salmon Town Chitose." The name of the roadside station is Salmon Park Chitose, so it is great that a clear concept that matches this has been established. In the news video, edamame was being sold. When I visited at 10:30, there were only two bags of edamame with stems left, as the ones without stems had almost sold out. I almost missed out on buying them. I boiled them at home in the evening, breaking them off the stem and enjoying them with a highball. The edamame boiled in salt water had a slight sweetness of the beans combined with the salt, making it very delicious. This deliciousness cannot be experienced with frozen ones. "But these will become soybeans," said my wife, who comes from a farming family. Roadside stations exist not only for the residents of Chitose but also for people from nearby cities and tourists. Since the designated management company was selected through a public offering, I hope they will operate boldly and contribute to the revitalization of Chitose.

It seems that the rest stop was chosen as the number one spot for clean toilets, with a unique circular layout and toilets radiating outwards. The toilets were indeed clean! This time, I bought vegetables at the "Shun-sai no Yakata" shop. Two bunches of green onions for 150 yen. Five turnips for 230 yen (we had them as pickles, they were fresh and juicy!). I also bought Moro (an Italian blood orange) which had a purple hue inside, with a taste similar to blood oranges! Although they were small, getting a pack for 350 yen was a good deal. I felt like I got a lot of Vitamin C from them (lol). Thank you for the delicious meal!

- Hokkaido Tokachi Mozzarella Cheese Curry, 300 yen - This "Kitakitsune no Shippo" curry bread is only sold at Salmon Park Chitose. As shown in the photo, it is sold outside the building of Salmon Park Chitose. - The bread is crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The curry is spicy and the combination with mozzarella cheese is delicious. However, it feels like they might have put in a bit too much cheese, making it a bit heavy. Overall, it was a satisfying meal.

When I stopped by the Michi-no-Eki in Chitose, I visited a curry bread shop from Hokkaido. They had various types of curry bread for sale, and I ended up buying a medium-spicy curry bread for 200 yen. I ate it on the spot. The bread was not greasy and easy to eat. The curry inside was spicy but had a nice sweetness and depth of flavor, making it delicious.

Lunch at a roadside station attached to the largest freshwater fish aquarium in Japan, the "Chitose Salmon Hometown Aquarium." They sell various souvenirs and local products. There is a specialty omurice shop where you can eat in the store or take out and enjoy in the food court. I ordered the omurice with white sauce, made with Chitose eggs. You can choose from three sizes: S, M, L.

Thank you for the meal.

"I purchased 'Hidaka kombu ¥500' and used it for the broth in my tofu hot pot at home. It tasted really good."

I had a day off from work and visited the roadside station "Salmon Park Chitose" where I tried a Hokkaido curry bread at the outdoor shop. I had the "Delica" curry bread for 200 yen. They also had other varieties such as Medium Spicy with Hokkaido vegetables for 200 yen, Salmon Mayo for 280 yen, and Cheese with runny egg for 300 yen. They also served draft beer (Kirin Ichiban Shibori) for 400 yen. The station was renovated and reopened on August 8, 2015. There was a ramen shop in the food court as well. A convenience store (Lawson) is also located inside and operates 24 hours. It is unclear if the outdoor shop selling curry bread is open during winter. Thank you for the meal. Roadside Station Salmon Park Chitose Address: 2-4 Hanazono-cho, Chitose City, Hokkaido Phone: 0123-29-3972 Hours: 9:00-18:00 (some stores until 20:30) Irregular holidays.

I bought some snacks for myself after having lunch: - Quail egg castella (cube) for 300 yen - Premium corn chocolate for 360 yen - Troquette Uno (plain) for 380 yen There was a shop next to the one I visited that sold cute quail egg castella, which caught my eye due to its packaging. However, the inside was just a normal cube castella. Next to the shop, there was a store selling curry bread, Genghis Khan (grilled lamb), and shaved ice, but it seemed to be closed with a blue sheet covering it. Inside, there was a bakery called Kanto selling local bread and products from Morimoto and Calbee. I also bought Hokkaido corn chocolate from Hori, known for their Yubari melon pure jelly. There were five varieties available, but I chose the "premium" one as it seemed the most luxurious, although all the prices were the same and the quantity was unchanged. I also browsed at Shun-sai-no-Yakata, a direct sales store for seasonal vegetables, and was attracted to the sweets section, where I bought a drinkable yogurt that tasted like milk. It was quite sweet. This place was selected as the cleanest toilet in the 2015 Hokkaido Road Station rankings, and indeed, it was very clean. Thank you for the meal.

It is a very beautiful roadside station. It felt more like a small tourist spot than a roadside station. There are a few dining options inside, even though there are not many reviews on Tabelog. In the food court, there is a pork bowl and udon shop, a soup curry shop, a ramen shop, a sweets shop with soft serve ice cream, a vegetable-centric buffet in the back, a handmade pizza specialty shop, and a spacious area for children to play. There is also a souvenir shop with a variety of items. Outside, there is an aquarium. On the bridge over the Chitose River, there is an Indian water wheel, and you can see the scene of salmon jumping. It seems like a good place for families with children to take a break or pass the time during car rides. The pork bowl for lunch was decent, and the soup curry looked quite authentic and delicious. The soft serve ice cream was average; the ones in Otaru or Furano were tastier. After a satisfying lunch on the first day of our trip, we headed to Lake Shikotsu. Apologies for the review being a bit out of order.

On September 13, 2015, it was raining at the Salmon Park's farm produce market, which was very crowded. The farm produce was fresh and reasonably priced. I bought some fresh pasta for dinner and also my favorite three-masu pickles. I made the pasta for my son's dinner and it was delicious! He even asked for seconds, but I only bought enough sauce for one serving. The smoked salmon cream sauce was rich and flavorful, with plenty of salmon. I ended up using the leftover fresh pasta to make a meat sauce, which was also delicious. The three-masu pickles were pickled in Nanban, koji, and soy sauce, with the Nanban being roughly chopped and slightly spicy. I would have preferred more Nanban and a finer chop, but it was still tasty. Overall, it was a delicious meal.

I went here for the first time. Salmon Park Chitose has a parking lot, but it was almost full. There was even a line forming on the street. It seems like it was just renovated and it's really popular! I bought some boiled corn this time, I think it was around 250 yen. It's a bit pricey, but it was so good! I couldn't resist reaching for it at the register. I took it home as a souvenir and tried it right away. It was sweet and soft, easy to eat, and delicious! Freshly boiled corn is really amazing. I recommend it for those who want to eat it right away.

Welcome! The Salmon Park Chitose Road Station, which was renewed in August 2015, is located along Route 337 in Chitose City. Next to the road station, there is a hometown museum where you can learn about salmon. On weekends, food stalls appear around the road station, including a food court, a vegetable market, a vegetable buffet, a wood-fired pizza, projection mapping, and a playground, making it a fun place for both adults and children. It's quite different from before... There are more children than adults and the female ratio is higher than males. Is it to please wives or girlfriends? If you don't go early, the vegetables, fruits, and food stalls will be gone. I bought some super spicy pickles, just smelling them makes my nose tingle with spiciness. I'll make them into a side dish for my meal or maybe ask Mugutan to add some spice to it. I tried the haskap juice, and it's true that local produce is different. The sweetness and sourness are so strong! I always stop by any road station that is close by, but I can learn a lot about the local specialties, which I appreciate. Thank you for the meal.

I went to the newly reopened Salmon Park Chitose Agricultural Products at the roadside station and bought plenty of fresh produce. The Chitose Agricultural Products direct sales section inside the roadside station, called Shun Sai no Yakata, was bustling with many people. The freshly picked morning vegetables were crispy and delicious. I bought corn called Gravis, which had only four left. There were four different types of corn, so I hesitated, but when I saw there was only one left, I quickly grabbed one. The staff at the store kindly advised me that it would be even sweeter and tastier if I boiled it, so I boiled it the next morning and it was very sweet and delicious. I also bought giant okra, eggplant, bitter gourd, purple cabbage, all of which were fresh and delicious. Fresh local vegetables are so delicious and attractive. Skewered dango, dango, dango, lined up in threes, dango, dango. Kachobaro cheese dango, dango, dango. Like the three dango brothers, the skewered Kachobaro cheese had a mozzarella cheese-like taste with a stringy texture, allowing me to enjoy the richness and flavor of the cheese. The roadside station not only had outdoor facilities but also indoor playground equipment for children, various food and beverage outlets, an aquarium, a Lawson convenience store, and an outdoor stage with stalls, making it a fun place to explore, shop, eat, and drink. ☆☆☆ Next Episode Preview ☆☆☆ I look forward to coming back to Salmon Park Chitose next time to buy more fresh vegetables.

Enjoyed a lot of nature and horses~~~ On the way back, we stopped by Chitose Salmon Park which seems to be very popular since its renewal opening. Even though it was already evening, the parking lot was almost full, quite impressive. Inside, there were various shops including a souvenir corner which looked stylish! There was a bakery selling delicious-looking bread in front. And next to it, there is a buffet of local vegetables which seems to be very popular. I would like to try it someday. Of course, I couldn't resist buying some local vegetables like lettuce, green onions, and eggs. And then, what caught Yuzuki's eye was... Oh?? This shop!!! It's the pizza shop in Kurosato where Yuzuki currently holds the top position in the pizza department. I usually would have been disappointed if it was just a branch, but considering it's located at Chitose Michi-no-Eki, I'll let it slide. Of course, I bought a pizza. I got the Margherita, which I usually don't prefer because the dough tends to be soggy and heavy on the stomach, but this one was chewy and I really liked it! The fresh taste of tomatoes and basil, combined with the delicious cheese, was irresistible!! It was so delicious! However, even though it was delicious, I still feel like it tastes better in Kurosato. I wonder why that is. But I'll definitely go back to eat there again!! Chitose Salmon Park is not to be underestimated!! Oh, I almost forgot to mention, even though we didn't visit, the aquarium there seems quite interesting. It seems like they offer interactive experiences and show various things. And as always, there is an Indian watermill attached, which is kind of the trademark, right? ===========
