Fukura Station, located in Fukaura Town, Aomori Prefecture, is a key station on the Gono Line. It's not only the demarcation point for local trains, but also a mandatory stop for the Shirakami sightseeing train. Although now unmanned, the station once housed a green window and a shop, now staffed by a tourism association that continues to provide tourist information. The island platform within the station, while small, holds the anticipation of Gono Line travelers. 🚉✨
The most unique experience on the Shirakami train is that the train stops for approximately ten minutes at several coastal stations, including Fukaura and Senjojiki, allowing passengers to disembark and enjoy the magnificent Sea of Japan views. Stepping out onto the platform, feeling the sea breeze and watching the sunset paint the sky crimson, that relaxing and romantic feeling is undoubtedly the most moving moment of a Gono Line trip. Coming to Fukaura Station is more than just a transfer; it's a memorable stop on your trip. 🌅🌟
