Shimonada Station on the JR Yosan Line, standing along the coast of Iyo City, is a world-famous unstaffed station termed one of the "stations closest to the sea in Japan," with a vast, spectacular view of the Seto Inland Sea spreading right before the platform. Depicted as the stage for numerous movies, dramas, and anime, very many travelers and photographers from home and abroad gather seeking its nostalgic and beautiful scenery. The rustic wooden benches, the small platform with only a roof, and the unobstructed contrast of the blue sea and sky present a beauty just like a painting. Especially at dusk, the sea and sky dye in a crimson gradation, allowing you to spend a breathtakingly romantic time. Just sitting there and listening to the sound of waves cleanses the heart at this travel-romance filled famous spot.
