[Hamanako Sakume Station] Right outside the station, a big cow statue welcomes you. Believe it or not, this big cow is actually a restroom! I’ve never seen a toilet this unique and adorable!
[Sunza Station] The other station is Sunza Station, a small unmanned stop perched on a low hill. From the platform, you can enjoy a beautiful view of Lake Hamana.
So, which station would you capture in your photos?

Get off at Tenryu-Futamata Station, which exudes a nostalgic atmosphere.
We rented bicycles, but you can just as well explore on foot.
This time, we stopped by Yoshidaya Meat Shop Tenryu Ham, a long-established butcher beloved by the locals, located in the Clover Street shopping area.
There are so many other charming local shops here—we wish we could introduce them all!
