Decent rest stop, easy to access by bus or train. I’m told it’s not as nice your average Japanese service station tho. Used it to get out of Kagoshima.Had 3 people offer rides in this time. Slower than usual I’m sure due to the rain, and apparently our sign was wrong (we had written E3 Kita on it so beware haha). Kind uncle bought us some snacks for the wait and we ended up hitching a ride to the Luffy statue.

I didn't have to wait, someone saw me walking with my sign and asked me where I wanted to go.From Nobeoka my goal was Fukuoka but I went step by step and I just told him Kurume.
He took me, and told me he took many hichhikers on that road.
I don't exactly where you wanna stand on that place, but it's a big roadway station so you should be fine. Just don't be afraid to go step by step.

All the cars that goes to the roadway station will pass next to you, and when they'll go back to the road they will pass next to you again.I don't like to stand on the roadway station itself but it might be better, anyway you can decide when you're there, it's really easy to move here :)
I wrote "Hajimemashite :) Kumamoto direction" in Japanese in my sign.
Always have my arm straight and my thumb up.
