Obuse Highway Oasis

Nice rest area surrounded by nature

The Obuse Highway Oasis in Nagano is a nice place to stop and stretch your legs on a road trip, particularly since it's surrounded by some beautiful nature. There were numerous trees with stunning autumn leaves on my most recent visit, and they had several stalls selling chestnut goodies. There's even a dog run here if you're traveling with a canine companion in tow.
