This is the kind of food fishermen usually eat, so the portions are way bigger than normal. They definitely don't skimp here.

Takarazuka Kita Service Area
This service area is filled with a variety of “treasures,” including Southern European-style architecture inspired by the Hana no Mich area in central Takarazuka and displays of character merchandise and sculptures by Osamu Tezuka, who had close ties to the city. Based on the concept of a “Treasure Island on the Highway,” it is one of western Japan’s premier service areas serving traffic in both directions.
Passing through Takarazuka Kita Service Area at night, what caught my attention most was actually the building’s exterior. The entire building has a European style, with distinctive roof and arch designs. At night, the lights shining on the exterior walls and red brick columns create a nice atmosphere. In particular, the illuminated “Takarazuka Kita” sign above the entrance looks quite good in photos with the overall lines of the building. Compared with the more standardized appearance of typical highway rest stops, this place is definitely much more refined, and you can also enjoy the nighttime scenery when stopping by in the evening.

PLUSTA Shin-Osaka Shinkansen Central Gate Inside
PLUSTA Shin-Osaka Shinkansen Central Gate Inside is located inside the Shinkansen Central Gate at JR Shin-Osaka Station. It is in an easy-to-stop-by location for travelers using the Tokaido Shinkansen, allowing smooth use even during the limited time before boarding. Since it is located along the route inside the ticket gates, one of its features is that travelers can stop by efficiently while moving through the station.
Every time I take the Shinkansen from Shin-Osaka, I like to browse here first. In addition to all kinds of train station bento boxes, you can also find plenty of food with a distinctive Kansai flavor. The bento options range from traditional Japanese flavors to meat dishes, and just choosing one can take quite a while. Rather than trying to find something to eat after boarding, I prefer to buy a bento beforehand and enjoy it at my leisure on the Shinkansen. It’s one of the pleasures of traveling in Japan.

Maguro Tonya Ichimon Isezaki Main Branch
Located in Gunma Prefecture, Maguro Tonya Ichimon Isezaki Main Branch is the flagship restaurant of a popular conveyor-belt sushi chain that operates four locations under the concept of “Serving Gunma on sushi.” The restaurant is known for its dedication to freshness and quality, offering premium seafood and sushi at an exceptional value.
The sashimi here is incredibly fresh, especially the tuna—it’s absolutely amazing! The fat is just right and it melts in your mouth. 😍
The portions are generous and the prices are really reasonable, so the value is great. Both the sushi and rice bowls are top-notch, and even the miso soup is packed with ingredients.
