Drive-in (English spelling)

Japanese: ドライブイン(英語表記)drive-in
Drive-in (English spelling)
A rest area located on a major road in an area far from urban areas. Equipped with restaurants and souvenir shops, it serves as a place for people to rest and eat when traveling relatively long distances by car. With the development of road networks and the increasing popularity of private cars from the 1960s onwards, rest areas have been opened all over the country. Parking lots are provided adjacent to the road, making it easy for cars to enter and exit. Many of these are large facilities that can accommodate several large tourist buses. In recent years, some facilities have been actively holding local product exhibitions and providing tourist information, and they have also become information bases for areas along major roads.

都市部からはずれた地域で幹線道路に面して立地している休憩所。飲食店やみやげ物店などが併設されており,車で比較的長距離を移動している人々の休憩や食事などの場として機能している。昭和 40年代から道路網の整備にと自家用車の普及が進んだことを背景に,全国各地で開業が進んだ。道路に隣接して駐車場が設けられ,車の出入りが容易な構造となっている。大型観光バスを何台も収容することのできる大規模な施設も多い。近年では地域の物産展の開催や観光情報の提供などを積極的に行なっている施設もあり,幹線道路沿いの地域の情報発信基地ともなっている。
