Good spot but not a large amount of people actually stopped here. Though, great as if someone does, they,re definitely going east. This is no good for going west.To get into here by foot, you'll have to jump the fence, or if you're lucky like me, the backdoor was open :)

Okay, have now tried it going east, and it was easy. So for leaving Kyoto heading east, good spot - otherwise, avoid/―Aik

Going east might be different, but if you're going west there's really no good place to stand or for cars to stop. There's decent traffic, so it's doable, but I wouldn't recommend it if you can help it. Make sure you have a map with the next SA you want to get to with you that you can just point at, because the expressway branches crazily soon after this.―Aik

Big service area with access from Otsu station and thus Kyoto. Has a nice view of Lake Biwa.―Anonymous
