IKUTORA STATION

Memories of location

Original Text

I went around several movie locations while traveling to Hokkaido (Yubari, Biei, Kamifurano, Ikutora, Ashiyaro, Abashiri, Masuhae, etc.). I'm glad that there is still a set of station building and station square. It was. One unfortunate thing is that half of Kiha in front of the station has been decided to be discontinued, so I think it would be better if you keep both １ on the platform (like Happiness Station).

I wanted to come to this station someday. In March 2016, this station was on the way from Shintoku to Takigawa on a rail trip using the Hokkaido Free Pass, but when I got off here, I had a lot of time to get to the next train and couldn't stop by.

Ikutora Station is a model of Horomai Station, which is the stage of railway workers. The trains, costumes, desks, etc. used in the movie are on display, and you can feel as if you have entered the world of railway workers.
