Japan's Top Secluded Station, Owada Station, and the Beautiful Tenryu River Valley
A little while ago (around the time the 213 retired), I visited Owada Station, said to be one of Japan's most secluded stations, and the Tenryu Gorge, a nearby river. To get there, I stayed at a hotel near Tenryukyo Station and took a train the next day, arriving in about an hour on a local train. After getting off at the station and exploring the surroundings a bit, I saw the wide, lake-like Tenryu River valley below and saw ripe persimmons still clinging to the trees. Owada Station is surrounded by mountains and is located very close to the border of Shizuoka, Nagano, and Aichi prefectures. It's deep in the mountains of Hamamatsu City, Shizuoka Prefecture. This station is notable for its old station building, but inside, you'll find a disused platform in the back, a station notebook, and various photos displayed. Everything served at the hotel was apparently made from wild vegetables, fruits, and grilled fish caught in the vicinity. Have any of you ever visited a secluded station like this?

Going all the way out there? You're still such an oddball. But the scenery in the photo isn't bad, meow. Next time, you can take this Shammy-sama to a quiet place like that too, you know.
