Tehara Station - Ritto

The station building itself is beautiful because it was recently rebuilt. There is a rotary in front of the station, with a bicycle parking lot and police box. In addition, it is convenient because there is Kusatsu interchange of Meishin Expressway if we run for approximately three minutes by car. It is a feeling that security and convenience are compactly packaged. This is a bonus, but there is a shrine about 3 minutes on foot, and the D51 steam locomotive is displayed in the adjacent park. Although it is surrounded by fences, it is impressive because you can see it up close. If you are interested, why not come and see it!

There is a station stamp ♪ If you ask the station staff, they will give it to you. At Hashigami Station, the ticket gate is on the 2nd floor, and the Ritto Tourist Information Center is on the opposite side.

There was the Ritto Tourist Information Center on the second floor of the station. There was a park where SL (D51) was preserved when walking a little from the south exit.
