Roadside Station "Daikyu no Sato" Product Center

During World War I, the Bando POW camp was built in Hinoki, Taima-cho, Naruto City, Tokushima Prefecture, and on June 1, 1918, German prisoners of war performed Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 in its entirety for the first time in Asia and Japan, hence the name "Daikyu no Sato." Daikyu no Sato is a roadside station that combines a local product center, the Naruto City German House, and the Kagawa Toyohiko Memorial Museum. The souvenir shop has a wide selection of local specialties and Tokushima souvenirs. There is also a gelato and snack corner that uses local specialties. The building that houses the shop was relocated from part of the barracks (barracks) of the Bando POW camp, and is registered as a tangible cultural property of the country.
