Inae Station - Hikone

There is nothing around the station. Ainori taxis that go to Kongo Rinji Temple, one of the three lakes in Koto.

It is a very quiet station close to Osaka and Kyoto. You will be healed in a relaxed mood. If you take a train at noon, you can sit down first.

The drawback is that there is no convenience store nearby Where is a good place, but it is hard when snow piles up

A station on the Lake Biwa Line that competed with Shobo alongside Azuchi Station and Shinohara Station, but was recently built and became an elevated specification. The station is new, but there is still nothing in front of the station.

It used to be an old station building in the Showa era, but in December 2016, the new station building was put into service. The photo is from May 4, 2019, but at this point the station square was still under construction. I walked to the old school buildings of Toyosato Elementary School in Toyosato Town, which is about 4.5km from here, but it took about an hour.

The station is inconvenient because there is only one staircase to the platform for the recently renovated. It seems that it is leaking, and the bench on the platform under the station building is flooded.

The station on the Tokaido Main Line around here has also been rebuilt from a train station to a train station. The train to and from Maibara just stops.
