An old station beside the river !

by Kazu

The water flow of the Teshio river still continued. The river brings various kinds of gifts to the land and conveys mineral to the ocean.

An old wooden station received us and the sign showed that a hot spring spa named "Ponpira Onsen" was near the station and a suspension bridge with crescent-shaped lake is the place to visit for sightseeing.

As forestry flourished around here and the region is still producing quality logs, the railway station was built and refurbished with wood.
It's so good taste that brings nostalgia, isn't it ?
