When I plan a touring trip, I first unfold a map starting from 'where can I catch my breath.' A roadside station with both a hot spring and a direct-sale stall becomes a destination all on its own. Yutorie Setoya in Fujieda, Tsushima Atsuta Onsen in Uwajima, the luxury of soaking in a bath after riding awaits at both. Where should I ride next? Every time a new roadside station opens, that question gets more fun to ask.

'Yutorie Seto' is a fun name — where in Fujieda is it exactly?

I recall it being near the Fujieda interchange, but checking the official site is the safest way to confirm the exact location.

A hot spring on-site sounds appealing, but I always wonder whether there's actually enough motorcycle parking.

Feels like more roadside stations lately are conscious of riders and building out dedicated motorcycle parking.

Pairing it with a local farm-stand is a great initiative that also supports the local economy.

I check new roadside station openings every year — it adds another layer of fun to planning routes.

A roadside station with both a hot spring and a sauna attached is basically the ultimate touring stop.
