Nanjo Local Products Center

Nanjo Local Products Center is a facility offering Nanjo City's local specialties, souvenirs, and light meals. For the practical side of your trip, the single most important fact is this: admission tickets for Sefa-utaki are sold ONLY at the ticket counter of this center. Tickets cannot be purchased at the Sefa-utaki entrance. From the ticket counter, it is a walk of roughly 7 to 10 minutes (approx. 500 m) to the Sefa-utaki entrance. If you are visiting Sefa-utaki, be sure to buy your ticket here before heading over.

Inside, you will find Nanjo specialties, goods featuring the city's mascot "Nanji," ice cream made with local milk, and more. Right next door is Ganju Station Nanjo, a tourism hub with an information desk and booking counters for local experiences — together they make this the starting point for any journey through Nanjo.

If you arrive by car, the standard approach is to walk from the center to Sefa-utaki. Ticket sales have set hours, and the closing time varies by season. For the latest hours and fares, please check the official Sefa-utaki website.

Before visiting the sacred site, pause here first. Buy your ticket, browse the souvenirs, and picture the path you are about to walk. A journey through Nanjo begins, quietly, at this gateway.
