A charming retro wooden station building remaining from the Taisho era
About this spot
A charming local railway station where the wooden station building built in the Taisho era still remains today. The station building, which has walked alongside the region's history, is popular with photography enthusiasts and has a leisurely atmosphere. The unusual station name "Saidoujo" derives from this area's past as a copper production center and connects to the history of Seishi-den, which you'll visit next.
