Train station • Nishikiwa, Ube, Yamaguchi 755-0151, Japan
Tokiwadai Station is a small unmanned station facing the Seto Inland Sea. However, its small size allows for a wonderful location where you can enjoy the sea view from the platform. The color of the sea, set against the clear blue sky, is not just a memory-enhanced image, but the actual scenery itself.
The sense of nostalgia unique to an unmanned station is also one of its charms. The school bicycles left on the platform may remind you of the students who used to pass through here. Although wearing a business suit might make you stand out, it could be this aspect that tickles the hearts of railway fans.
It is recommended to take a short trip to enjoy the scenery of the Seto Inland Sea, based at Tokiwadai Station. Riding the 2-car train, operated by a reservation ticket system, while leisurely gazing at the sea during the journey is also a good option. On a clear day, the color of the sea set against the cloudless blue sky is especially magnificent.
Although Tokiwadai Station is a small unmanned station, its location and atmosphere create a significant charm. Railway fans, as well as ordinary travelers, should be able to experience something unique here.
