Okoba Station

Beautiful local train station.

Famous station with loop track, thx to train simulator 2000, becouse playing that game i know this train

At a station with a kickback, it is said that if you put a business card on this station, you will be successful in the future, and various people from all over the country are putting business cards on it. Even if it appears in the anime Natsume Yujincho, it is visited by anime fans as a pilgrimage to the sacred place.

From the time I remembered, there was a railroad track on the back of the house. It was soaked with iron. Since I entered a university in Kanto more than 40 years ago, I got into the railway. Homecoming is also a railroad. Hikari from Tokyo to Shin-Osaka, and 581 series Meisei from Shin-Osaka to Nishi-Kagoshima when returning home on New Year's Day in the second grade. Only one car was used to raise the sleeper fee in a reserved seat car. Departing from Kumamoto, next is Yatsushiro. Get off with the idea of ​​getting on the Hisatsu Line. The railcars bound for Hitoyoshi are filled with students attending high schools along the line. Many students are looking at Yamakawa Shuppansha's world history textbooks. The continuation of the trip to Hitoyoshi, which stops at each station for nearly two hours, is waiting for Yoshimatsu at the next platform. A mixture of brown passenger cars and several freight trains on the DD51 locomotive. The train departs, There were few passengers, and I was able to observe the movement of the locomotive from inside the passenger car. The area along the line is managed without grass bushes, and the surrounding scenery is beautiful. From Ohata to Yadake is a loop line or switchback. The first impression of Ohata and Yadake has a sense of seclusion. However, at that time, I remember running "Oodo," "Ebino," and "Yatake." When the train is in the switchback, it moves backward after a while and then forward after a while. On the loop line, you can see that the train is running around the curve and starting to descend. Arrived after switching back with only Masaki on the Hisatsu Line in Miyazaki Prefecture. Yoshimatsu, the end point, will arrive soon. After that, it is normal to go by car for a while, and it wasn't until Heisei that I got on the train. After the opening of Yatsushiro from Kagoshima Chuo on the Kyushu Shinkansen, we decided to take the "Trans-Kyushu Limited Express" from "Hayato no Kaze" and "Isaburo Shinpei" Hitoyoshi. Buy sweetfish sushi and chestnut okowa from iris, an ekiben stand-up seller. Around this time, the sons of high school students also had iron. Hisatsu Line trip at that time was also his request. The trigger for the boost is It is a ticket that runs around the Hisatsu Line. Once again, a short train trip back to youth, slowly running from the Hisatsu Orange Railway to the river line. From Shin-Yatsushiro, Kagoshima Chuo was a swallow. Ohata and Yadake have been driving a few times. The heavy rain disaster this year caused enormous damage. I hear that it costs a lot of money to recover. What will happen?

A unique atmosphere flows out, and the walls of a large number of business cards create a strange atmosphere.
