There are about 700 roadside stations in Japan. The photo shows the Roadside Station Niho, which was newly built in the Niho district outside of Yamaguchi city. The sign plan was developed under the theme of the rich variety and abundance of agricultural products which are this region’s identity and shows their names and signs in a visual way that is enjoyable for anyone.
