[Sunset at Shimonada Station | Iyo City, Ehime Prefecture
"The luxury of waiting for the sunset at a station where you don't have to wait for a train"]
— [Shimonada Station] is an unmanned station on the JR Yosan Line in Iyo City, Ehime Prefecture.
It stands alone on the seashore, like a movie set, and is also known as "the most photogenic station in Japan" 📸
We especially recommend visiting at dusk 🌇
The sky turns orange and purple, the Seto Inland Sea shines like a mirror,
and the quiet platform becomes one with the scenery...
The sight is so **"just being there will make you want to cry"**
