Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Ryotei at 82% against 日本道の駅's 0%. Ryotei also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 20 months). 日本道の駅's advantage is price ($0.99 vs $3.99) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 26.0). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
