Scenic Beauty in Four Seasons from Remote Station

Reminiscing the Tracks of Past

Standing on the platform, the rural landscape beyond the tracks catches your eyes. Onden Station stands quietly in the tranquil mountains of inland Akita, as if time has come to a standstill. Once the footsteps of the Hanawa Line station staff echoed through this station. Now it is an unmanned station, yet with every train passing by, a faint popularity seems to return to the deserted station.

Paddy Fields Reflecting Nature like a Mirror

The rural scenery surrounding Onden Station is truly a symbolic scene of Akita. In spring, the paddy fields spread out like a soft green carpet, transitioning to a deep green as summer approaches. In autumn, the fields dyed in golden color shine under the sunlight; and in winter, covered in snow, they reflect the surrounding landscape like a mirror. From this small station, you can fully enjoy the expressions of the rural seasons.

Scenery from the Train Window

Riding the train on the Hanawa Line, passing by Onden Station, the impression of the rural scenery lingers. In the lush green season, the view of the countryside swaying in the gentle breeze is soothing. On the other hand, in the snowy winter, a vast silvery world stretches out below. Enveloped in a quietness that seems to freeze time, for a moment, you can enjoy the great nature of Akita from the train window, an irreplaceable moment.
