Shimonada Station, Railway station in Iyo, Japan

Description

Shimonada Station is a railway station in Iyo situated directly alongside the Seto Inland Sea on the Yosan Line. The facility includes a single platform with a basic station building, waiting room, and platform shelter for passengers.

History

The station opened in 1935 as the original terminus of the Yosan Main Line before the route extended further that same year. This initial endpoint served as a key milestone in the railway development of the region.

Culture

The station features prominently in travel promotions and draws photographers seeking to capture trains framed by the Seto Inland Sea. Visitors come here to photograph the interplay between modern rail transport and the coastal scenery that surrounds the line.

Practical

The station is unstaffed and provides basic amenities including a waiting room and accessibility ramp. Visitors should expect minimal facilities and plan their timing around train schedules, as service may be limited during off-peak periods.

Did you know?

A special tourist train called the Iyonada Monogatari schedules stops here during sunset hours, offering passengers views of the sun descending over the sea. These seasonal runs make the station a sought-after spot for sunset viewing.
