Mankido Tourist Drive-in, located in Niimi, Okayama, is a retro-style shop near the Mankido Cave. It's known as the birthplace of 'Bakudan Candy,' a colorful ice treat with a unique flavor, made using a recipe unchanged for 80 years. The shop offers a nostalgic atmosphere reminiscent of the early Showa era, where you might find local grandmothers casually enjoying the space. Perfect for a quick stop to enjoy a refreshing treat after exploring the cave. Note that it is closed on Saturdays and Sundays, except during the summer.
