Located just off the expressway on highway 58 in Nago City you'll find a small Rest Stop or Road Station as they are referred to here called Kyoda. Like most Road Stations in Okinawa Kyoda provides road information and an opportunity to rest before continuing on your trip. You will also find a variety of local fresh produce, fruits and seafood, bento lunches and other food shops such as soba and tacos.
