Photo Spot

This small unmanned station is located on top of a small hill, and when you step onto the platform, the beautiful location of Lake Hamana spreads out before you. It is said that 1200 years ago, General Sakanoue no Tamuramaro took a short rest at this pass during his eastern expedition, and so the place got its name from the fact that he simply sat down for a moment. This station was the setting for the novel “Waiting for You at an Unmanned Station.” It’s a spot where you can sit on a wooden bench on the platform and look out over Lake Hamana while waiting for the train.

Stroll around Futamata Station

The wooden station building, constructed in 1940, is registered as a national tangible cultural property. The premises also feature a rare turntable and roundhouse (nationally registered tangible cultural property), creating a nostalgic atmosphere.
