Izumma Station

小さな待合室がある他はなにもないですが、民家に近いので、秘境駅というわけでもありません。

It is an unmanned station. I couldn't read kanji. (Lol)

After the late summer afternoon, I decided to get off on the way and feel the space of the station and plan to take a nap at the station. After a while, the elderly man who came on foot and missed the train talked to me somehow ... A former soldier who talked about the miserable experience of forced labor of the Siberian detention, your hardship at that time, the life of Yamazato at the time of your return ... I heard that he was 90 years old. Seeing real hell, crawling around a shack field, surviving, living a long life, the style of a long-lived man is the best, absolutely cool, seemingly holding up, something sweet of my heart It was likely to be overlooked, not absolutely won, and respected. Later on, I was told what "cool" is. When there were almost no cars, at the unmanned station in the village of Yamazato, the station where the men returned, the station on which they went home, the village in the area, the emotions of people using it, the story of the transition of history and time unfolded, the station It has become a stage for many people and a point of contact with people in other areas, and the Yamazato station that has supported it has a history of the history and people's lives in the area. There may be many people who are attracted to the attraction that can not be explained why they don't understand why in the station or local railways, feeling or imagining it.

Typical countryside station Typical country railway station

A waiting room like a hill and a prefab that climb the station is like Hokkaido!
