Tango-Yura Station (丹後由良駅)

Flow of the course

About this spot

This small JR San-in Main Line station is located near the mouth of the Yura River, and is a spot railway fans will love for its wooden station building and the laid-back atmosphere of its platform. From the platform you can look out over the scenery leading to the Yura River and Wakasa Bay, and watch trains passing close by. Part of its charm is the quiet, unhurried pace of time that comes with being an unstaffed station, and it is just the right size for an early-morning stroll. Take a leisurely walk around the station as a kind of warm-up before your swim.

Tips

There is a small parking area in front of the station, but spaces are limited, so arriving early is recommended. Please be careful of passing trains when stepping onto the platform.

Best time to visit

About 40 minutes. Early morning hours are quiet and let you take your time
