In the morning I took the bus to the SA. It only runs every few hours. From the busstop it's short walk up the hill. Because the station is a on/off ramp no fences are involved. I always stand in front of the toilet or store to catch most people. It took some time but a older man with a dope ass truck took. He even searched around to find my next ride, which made me a little umcomfy.―GermanyToIndia

There is a bus connection to JR/SA but it's only a few times a day. I hitch hiked a nice lady (working at Starbucks) towards JR. The station is a on/off ramp which is nice.―GermanyToIndia

Shortly after eating my lunch I was approched by a truck driver. He took me all the way to Hiroshima (including a second lunch along the way). Japanese people are so friendly and according to hichwiki you should not refuse the free meals/gifts. Station is big but was not very busy. Make sure to use a sign in kanji and look tidy.―GermanyToIndia

Gas station, plenty of space to pull over. All traffic is going North, or south depending on your desired direction. But very easy to get a ride―AK1204

Lots of cars were going north. I had a sign just for Kyushu. Got a,lift after 20 mins. Bit of a pain getting to this service area from hiroshima right now because there were road works so it was about a 1h walk from the tram.―Anonymous

So I was going down do Kyushu, idk how the other people got to this station, maybe they got dropped off there, but I had to pass a trail full of spiders and webs and then jump a fence to enter 💀 the fence is rather easy to jump but you need a stick to clear all the spiders, kinda felt like some Indiana Jones type of shit, so be prepared. Unless you’re doing it on 8th of September 2024 then I cleared all the creatures on that trail.Speaking of the spot itself, I was holding a Fukuoka sign, Caucasian male slightly tanned wearing an Osaka cap and probably 3 spider families on my backpack. First car stopped (approx 10 seconds of hitchhiking) going all the way to Nagasaki, so a win is a win.
You can actually watch me getting to the SA on my yt channel Polyglot Abroad if you want to see what getting there is like.

我是去玩严岛神社，再去这个SA的。去这里的路上会经过一条山路。不用紧张。路上的树叶会比较多。会经历一段爬坡。您可能会比较累。我走了两次弯路，我才到那里的。谷歌地图我以为它坏了。但他没有，因为他导航的都是一些小路，山路。你只要跟着谷歌地图走，就能到这个地方。过程会比较艰辛。我只花了20~30分钟打到车。是一个70岁左右的善良老人。我很想享受和他在车上聊天的时光。希望后来的所有搭便车的人都能打到车，去你想要的地方。―Li
