An unstaffed station in Gotsu City boasting a beautiful view of the Sea of Japan. Standing on the platform, the horizon of the endless blue Sea of Japan spreads before you, and the sound of waves and the sea breeze gently welcome visitors. Especially the sunset viewed from around the station is highly evaluated as a "hidden superb view spot" among railway fans and photographers. The popular aquarium "Aquas" is nearby, making it perfect for a stop during a seaside drive or railway trip. A place perfect for a "mental laundry," where you can simultaneously enjoy the quietness of a Japanese local line and the overwhelming openness of the sea.
