We board the limited express train from Takamatsu to Shimonada Station, which is said to be the model for the station in the Ghibli movie “Spirited Away”, a worldwide hit.
Trains arrive only once every two to three hours. The ocean stretches out before your eyes. I thought it was an unmanned station in the countryside, but it turned out to be a major tourist attraction visited by many Instagrammers.
Enjoy!

0:34 The official name of "UDON" Prefecture is "KAGAWA". The name "Udon Prefecture" is used for tourism purposes. In fact, the name is on the station sign at Takamatsu Station.
7:34 Implicit rules are my JOKE. But please don't forget to be considerate of each other.
Это не вокзал, даже не станция! Всего лишь платформа!
Thank you dude for an amazing trip to a fabulous place!
But how can you drink grape Fanta? Oh nooooo
Sungguh indah disepanjang jalur perjalanannya, dan kereta tampak sangat bersih 😍👍
Ach, hätte ich doch japanisch gelernt, dann säße ich jetzt in diesem hübschen Zug.
UDON Prefecture😆
Only creator of spirited away had got first to feel the beauty before it getting famous becoming tourist and local attraction. If this was in my country i would sit there for hours without phone just to feel myself. Thanx for your hardwork.

You should take that iyonada monogatari train. Looks really cool!
Also the cafe bento train you showed in another video.
Hmm… It seems the railroad is not electrified…

Constantly in awe of Japans beauty.
it's been 3 years since the last time I traveled to Japan, everything in this video is still very strong in my memory, the peacefulness of Hakone, the busy streets of Shinjuku, the harmony of the environment, can't wait to travel to Japan again
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Similar views at stations on the way to Cascais in Lisbon, Portugal.
TBH , there is so much like stations available in sri lanka, crowded /town stations are bad , but country side station bit looked like this…

普段車移動だと、こういう絶景を見逃しているのかあ・・、人生損してますね。
