This is a roadside station in Kuroshio-cho, Kochi Prefecture, a fishing town. The station is located near a planned highway extension and future interchange, and is intended to serve as a gateway to the town and as a base for tourists and local residents. Two large spaces, a food court and an agriculture, forestry and fisheries market, were created by constructing a column-free space using a wooden three-dimensional truss.
