[Ehime Travel] The station closest to the sea in Japan

JR Shimonada Station in Iyo City, Ehime Prefecture

Known as the "closest station to the sea," this scenic spot frequently appears as a filming location for dramas and movies.

With the Seto Inland Sea stretching out before you, sitting on a bench makes you feel as if you're floating on the water. The view is especially beautiful at sunset, when the orange sky and sea blend seamlessly, attracting many visitors for photo opportunities.

Trains run infrequently, so it's important to check the train schedule in advance.
Snapping a photo with the red tourist train, the "Iyonada Monogatari," is also popular.
However, priority is given to passengers on this train when taking photos nearby! Be sure to listen carefully to the explanations given by the station volunteers.

If you're visiting by car, you can use the free parking lot near the station, but please be aware of narrow roads and follow traffic rules.

The tranquil sea and nostalgic station building create a scene straight out of a movie. Be sure to experience it.
