Train station • 2 Chome Uwacho Unomachi, Seiyo, Ehime 797-0015, Japan
Uonoma Station, which is familiar as the gateway to Saijo City, Ehime Prefecture. There is a charming aspect to this place name, using the rare character "卯 (rabbit)" in the whole country. In 2022, it finally completed a long-awaited full-scale renovation, presenting a new appearance of the station building and rotary.
The appearance of the station building has been transformed into an open and airy design with glass, while retaining the soft impression of wooden construction. The waiting room is fully equipped with heating facilities, and a spacious space where you can relax comfortably. For book lovers, there is a bookshelf with the convenience of "take-out free", and detailed consideration can be felt throughout.
New stores are opening one after another in front of the station. In addition to convenience stores and fast food restaurants, there are also Japanese pubs using local ingredients, and town development centered around the station is being promoted to meet various needs. There is also a large rotary for smooth car pickup and drop-off, demonstrating consideration for smooth access.
With the renovation, the impression of an unmanned station like before has been renewed, and Uonoma Station, which warmly welcomes visitors as "the face of Saijo City", represents both enduring charm transcending space and time and newly born charm. Why not visit this station that embodies both the unchanged charm and the new charm born beyond time and space?
