Fujikawa Service Area （富士川サービスエリア（下り線）店）

We stopped at another service area in Shizuoka Prefecture.

It's a really long prefecture and took forever to drive.

It had pretty wall art hanging outside.

And a rock with the name of the service area engraved on it.

Behind the store was a great view of

the river and the freeway that we were on.

We learned that this Starbucks store is super awesome

because you can actually see Mt Fuji from here!

Unfortunately though, when we were there

it was too cloudy below to see it.

Bummer.

But the view from the large windows

were impressive just the same.

EXPASA Ashigara Service Area （EXPASA足柄サービスエリア（下り線）店）

This is the Ashigara service area on the Tomei freeway.

My sister and I were heading down south

and we took a little break here on our roadtrip.

Shizuoka Prefecture is famous for Mt. Fuji.

Looks like they're really proud of it, too.

EXPASA Ashigara Service Area （EXPASA足柄サービスエリア（上り線）店）

This is the Ashigara service area on the other side of the freeway,

the one that heads back towards Tokyo.

And yes, we stopped here, too.

This Starbucks store was a lot smaller

and also located inside the service area building.

It was also very crowded.

This is the Soy Card we get when ordering a soy drink.

We give this to the barista handing out the drinks,

so they can double check to make sure you have soy.

EXPASA Ashigara Service Area （EXPASA足柄サービスエリア（下り線）店）

This is the Ashigara service area on the Tomei freeway.

It's a big service area with a huge food court and shops,

which is why it's always packed with people.

We stopped here on our way to Mt. Fuji

because it also has a Starbucks store.

I love how this Starbucks store uses bricks.

Starbucks Cold Cup Tumblers

Starbucks stores in service areas along freeways

have Danish Rusk on their menus for a limited time.

It was good and we ate it all in a matter of seconds.

I think we need them in a bigger cup.
