The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry has set a goal of installing 300,000 EV chargers by 2030 (currently 40,000), and there is a need to improve the charging environment nationwide. In addition, until now, the role of roadside stations has mainly been as “places to provide services for passing road users” and places where they can take a rest with peace of mind, but from now on, each “roadside station” will be able to create ideas freely Based on the enthusiasm of the local people, there is a need to accelerate initiatives for further regional revitalization, such as tourism and disaster prevention, by combining the strengths of the public and private sectors. EVs have a power storage function, and in the event of a disaster, EVs can act as “running storage batteries” and supply electricity to areas where electricity has not yet been restored. Therefore, EV chargers not only serve as daily infrastructure for local residents and tourists who own EVs, but also play an important role in times of disaster. 2: Roadside station “Iwaizumi” is a key tourist spot along National Route 455 The roadside station “Iwaizumi” is about 10 minutes by car from the center of Iwaizumi town, where Ryusendo Cave is located.

Take a short break at a popular gelato shop that uses local ingredients or a restaurant that serves Japanese shorthorn beef.
