Kaurigawa Station was built in 1903, and together with Osumi Yokogawa Station, it is called a very old station in Kagoshima Prefecture. The station is a wooden structure. When the train comes slowly from a distance, it seems to have traveled through a hundred years of time and space. The waiting room and ticket window are still the same as before, and time seems to freeze here.
Reviews from Real Guests:
さり: I went for the first time from Kagoshima. It is easy to go from Kagoshima Airport. I think it can be enjoyed more if I buy it at the time when the sightseeing train stops.
