Japan's southernmost station

Whenever the term "the southernmost point of Japan" is mentioned, it always makes people fantasize. The legendary southernmost station of JR Japan is at "Nishi-Oyama Station" in Kagoshima, an unmanned station with a strong sense of history. It has never lost its popularity because of the legend of the yellow mailbox and the bell of happiness. Today, it still operates at the southern tip of Kyushu, watching passengers coming and going in Kagoshima. Nishi-Oyama Station is located in Kagoshima, and is best known as the "Southernmost Train Station in JR Japan". Many tourists come here to visit. Although it is an unmanned station, it is still in operation today. However, there are not many trains going there. For example, there are only about 8 trains going there a day on the Ibusuki-Makurazaki Line to Yamakawa and Ibusuki. If you choose to take the train, you can plan your visit time carefully and pay attention to the boarding time. Nishi-Oyama Station is the last station of the Ibusuki-Makurazaki Line of JR Kyushu, Japan. Since its opening in 1960, it has always been the southernmost station of Japan's JR railway and enjoys a great reputation. Since the monorail began running in Okinawa in 2003, it was officially renamed "JR Japan's Southernmost Station", and since then the station has lived up to its name.
