Kisha no HI

Silently at a local station.

Original Text

Immediately after entering from the ticket gate of the retro station building, a black granite monument is erected. It seems that the scenery of Hirono Town has become a motif of "now in the mountains, now on the beach", which is nostalgic for middle-aged and older people.

A monument of railway songs

Original Text

It is a monument to the railway song on the platform of JR Hirono Station. It was set up by Hirono Town because it is said that the lyricist wrote the lyrics when he passed through this area on a trip on the Joban Line. When I was told that, I thought it was a lyric that well represented the scenery of the Joban Line running on the Rias coast.

Singing "Car"

Original Text

I found it on the platform of JR Hirono Station in August. The stone monument and origin were described. "Train" is a song that has been sung during the Meiji, Taisho, and Showa eras. It is said that Professor Takeki Owada wrote the lyrics of the landscape of Hirono Station from Migiri Kunohama on a trip to Tohoku. The nursery rhyme "Tonbo no Megane" is also related to Hirono Town.
