Site of Kabayama Station - Mutsu

Taste

There is Hiyama soba. Shimokita's famous soba is available.

2021.5 Visit Among the abandoned stations on the Shimokita Kotsu Ohata Line, this is the only existing and accessible unmanned station. Isn't it a very rare example that a station building of an abandoned station that has not been preserved or diverted exists? In addition to the station building, most of the signal equipment, railroad crossing equipment, and signal cables remain at the station, and while weathering for the number of years, the scenery at the time of business is slightly preserved. The glass of the station building is broken and the dandruff is no longer functioning (there is information that it has been so since the time of business), but it is still in a very beautiful state considering the time left, and the wind that blows through the station building. It was very comfortable, and I sat on the bench in the station building for a while, imagining the scenery at the time of business and indulging in recollections. And the "good faith umbrella" set up by the local nursery school cries. Even if the station fades, this picture will not fade. Was it used by many travelers at the time of business? Is the child who drew this picture a good adult? From the time of business, it was a station that was closed in winter, and I thought from the aerial photographs that it was a station in a dense forest, but there are farms and private houses closer than I expected, so there is no dark image. In addition, most stations, not just Kabayama station, still seem to be shortcuts for local residents, and there are traces of footsteps and mowing, so it is not so difficult to reach at this time of year. However, there are places where the bushes have already become deep and water has accumulated, and there are also traces of beehives, so it will be necessary to have some equipment and courage in the summer.
