Aizu-Oshio Station
This unstaffed station stands alone in a tranquil setting. From early to mid-April, cherry blossoms and field mustard flowers bloom around it, creating a warm and picturesque scenery.
This scenic plaza is located near Aizu-Kawaguchi Station, which has been selected as one of the “100 Best Stations in Tohoku.” The view combines quaint villages and fields near the water’s edge, the flow of the Tadami River, and the JR Tadami Line running alongside, showcasing Japan’s traditional rural landscape. Particularly enchanting are the early morning and evening vistas, the villages emerging from the misty river after rain, and the snow-covered scenery resembling ink wash paintings, with the Tadami Line trains running through.
I am Sana, born in Tokyo. I love travelling, dancing, drinking, very spicy food, sauna, thrill rides at amusement parks, camera, and monozukuri(handcraft), which tells me that I am curious about many things. There are more than 1,500 spots/places on my travel bucket list. I am going to provide information while enjoying myself!
