Train station • 3 Chome-10 Motookubo, Narashino, Chiba 275-0012, Japan
Keisei Okubo Station is the gateway to a city full of nostalgia in Nishinomiya City, Chiba Prefecture. The station structure, crowded with people, may seem inconvenient at first glance, but you can still see the efforts of the station staff to handle the morning and evening commutes.
The bustling shopping streets on both sides of the station are full of vitality. Especially at the morning market, locally grown fresh vegetables and seafood are lined up, and the aroma of home-cooked food fills the air. Occasionally, older people can be seen enjoying conversations without feeling out of place, creating heartwarming moments.
Despite the inconvenience of crowding and one-way roads, it is good to accept these inconveniences based on a nostalgic human touch. Tweets praising the efforts of the station staff are often seen, encompassing a bit of bittersweet humor.
The liveliness and resilience of Chiba City permeate Keisei Okubo Station, an important base intertwined with the lives of local residents. I hope this liveliness continues, and the charm of the area is passed on to future generations.
