Remains of the "uncompleted line" in Hamada City, where construction was halted halfway and no train ever ran. Concrete arch bridges and tunnels standing quietly in the forest exude a unique atmosphere like ancient ruins. The sight of nature silently reclaiming man-made structures is beautiful yet somewhat poignant, gaining immense support from photography enthusiasts and ruin fans. The remains of Modern Japan's dreams still exist while harmonizing with great nature. It is a very mysterious and photogenic place that makes you feel the "if" of history.
