Tōge Station

It's quaint.

I arrived at Toge station. The atmosphere is retro and good. "Toge Station Switchback" is located at Itaya Pass, which runs from Fukushima to Yonezawa on the Ou Main Line, and is a railway facility introduced in 1873. The Ou Main Line is said to be the earliest railway to cross the Ou Mountains, run at the highest altitude, and the most steep railway. Among them, Toge Station is located at an altitude of 622m, which is almost the highest point of this railway. The switchback remains of Itaya pass are all snow shade ...

There was a feeling.

I also went to Toge station. There was a poster to prevent camping. I think there are people camping. When you enter the premises, it is very tasteful. Toge Station is almost the highest point of this pass-crossing railway. In the photo, the turning-back tunnel for switchback is a dead end ahead. The rails are now removed, but they used to be used for turning back when switching back. ...

Everything may have been left behind since the times.

[Points to be highly evaluated] I have left as much switchback trace as possible. An unused signal or some left rails. You can feel the era when it was not yet said to be an unexplored station. There is also a secret hot spring and hot spring around Sakaitoge Station. Perfect for forest bathing and hot springs, for a remote rest. There is only one restaurant. The teahouse that sells the power of the pass also provides food and drink. [Points to be evaluated low] No.

not a railroad maniac.

Nowadays, the switchback, which had a certain sense of taste, has been abolished, and a simple hoichim is installed in the steel roof. The top of the switchback hoichim trace was also left. You can stop by on the way to the secret hot spring hot spring.

Riki Mochi

When several stops at each station arrive a day, a power mochi seller comes to the back door during the organization and sells mochi. It's less than a minute's stop, but now the rare scenery of sales by sellers is valuable.
