Harima-Shingū Station - Tatsuno

ICOCA is available from Himeji to here. Hashigami station building.

Although it was rebuilt neatly, it is troublesome because the number of users is small. If you come back from Himeji after the last ride, you will be in an unmanned station, so you can not make a transfer.

The main station on the Himeshin Line, which also has a return train setting. There is a single platform No. 1 and an island platform No. 2 and 3, and the No. 3 route corresponds to both directions.

We use trains or community buses from this station when we go to Himeji and Tatsuno. It is an important station that I personally need, so I would like to make it a star 5, but personally the bus that goes to Harima Kogen Science City and Spring 8 where the nearest bus stop in the area where I live is 5 round trips on weekdays , It is very disappointing that there are only 4 round trips on holidays (the bus to Shingu station does not reach until 13:00 (1 pm) if you overtake the bus at 7 o'clock in the morning and the last bus to Shingu station) It is also around 18:00 for Harima Kogen Science City.) In addition, recently (from January 10, 2017), a new community bus has been set up that goes back and forth between Harima Shingu Station and Kamigori Station (although it takes about 2 to 3 round trips a day on Sundays and holidays and the year-end and New Year holidays (December). (Closed from 29th to January 3rd)), the bus stops in Kamigori-cho stop at most of the bus stops up to Kamigori Station, but the only bus stop in Shingucho in Tatsunoshi is Shingu Station and the community bus from Shingu Station to Kamigori Station. Just by stopping at Senbon Station and Nishi Kurisu Station, the other bus stops in Shingu, Tatsuno City (Fureai Shingu, Hirano, Higashi Kurisu Elementary School, Fukusu, Senbon, Kurimachi, Ikadate and Kakugame (in my old memory) Since I am writing, I'm sorry if there is a bus stop that is missing or a wrong bus stop in Shingu-cho, Tatsuno-shi in the direction of Harima Kogen Science City from Shingu Station!) In the Higashi-Kurisu area and Nishi-Kurisu area) who have no car license, who did not have a car license for some reason (I am one of them), or have returned a car license I think that it is very disappointing for those who are silver etc.(By the way, the community bus from Kamigori Station to Shingu Station stops at most bus stops in Kamigori Town, but the bus stop in Tatsunoshi Shingu Town is Nishikurisu Station and Senbon Station It doesn't even stop at Shingu station.) Postscript (April 1, 2018): From April 2, a community bus that goes back and forth between Harima Shingu Station and Kamigori Station is newly contacting Shingu, Hirano, Higashi Kurisu Elementary School, Fukusu, Senbon, Kurimachi, Ikatate and Kaku. The turtle will also stop. However, going from Shingu station to Kamigori station is 3 flights a day, and going from Kamigori station to Shingu station is 2 flights a day, so it's rare. Also, depending on the community bus you use, you may have to get off at the Nishiharima Rehabilitation Center (the facility name may be wrong) in Techno.

The Himeshin Line exits Higashi-Umizaki and crosses the Ibo River to the old Shingu Town. Harima Shingu Station has detention lines in addition to lines 1 to 3, and trains are detained at night. The train system is also divided into one that goes directly from Himeji to Sayo (Kamitsuki) and one that changes at Harima Shingu. There used to be a train that went directly to Tsuyama, but it has been abolished, and there is a feeling that the choice of using the train has almost disappeared from the usual demand. There was a bus in front of the station, but there was no convenience store and it was like a coffee shop ☕?.

The station building is new and the toilet is beautiful. ICOCA can be used on the Himeji side from this station, but the opposite direction cannot be used.

It was a station where I got off to kill time. .. That Tsukudani Ara! Bunsen factory is in front of the station and has a nice scent I was able to walk to the Ibo thread factory and the ruins, and I enjoyed it unexpectedly.
