#春夏好去处2024 #和歌山景点 #猫猫站长 #小玉 Kishi Station is located in the suburbs of Wakayama. At this station that was about to close down, the first generation of stationmaster Xiaoyu brought good luck and supported the operation of the station, which also created a well-known story later. It is now taken over by the second generation of cats. When I came this time, he was sleeping and did not come out to greet guests. The easiest way to get here is to take the train back and forth, but the station is actually very small, so the stay time is about 15 minutes. It is also very convenient to drive by yourself. There is also a Kodama Shrine next to the station where you can visit, and there is a cat shop outside the station where you can go in and buy cats if you like them~ #吉志駅 #特色火车 #招财猫

Japan🇯🇵 is so big Sometimes even the station is particularly characteristic ❤️ And Wakayama has the same!! ️ It's Guichi Station From Wakayama City Station, take the Wakayama Electric Railway Kishikawa Line to Kishiki Station 👍🏻 In fact, Kishi Station is just a general small station that no one cares about🤪 But since more cat station manager has successfully lured all cat owners to visit 🤣 Slowly transformed into a new tourist destination in Japan🇯🇵😆 The Kishigawa Line is affiliated to Wakayama Electric Railway😛 Honestly, I personally don’t think this route has any tourist resources to speak of We usually only take the bus to the last stop. Kishi visits the cat stationmaster before returning 🤔 So whether it's worth it or not is up to you 🫶🏻 However, it has themed trains😗 There are four in total: Strawberry Tram, Toy Tram, Koyu Tram, and Plum Star Tram👍🏻 The tram does not have a fixed schedule so where you sit is quite a matter of luck😆 Luckily I was able to sit on the Xiaoyu train!! ️ It's really all cat designs inside One way it will cost 410yen and one day roll will cost 800yen Because you go back and forth anyway so you usually buy a day roll After half an hour, we have reached Kishi Station🫶🏻 As soon as I got out of the station, I felt that the roof was really eye-catching😆 The windows are in the shape of a cat 🤔 and TAMA is the Japanese pronunciation of Koyu 😌 To the left of the store is the vendor and to the right of it there is a small restaurant where you can eat something like that The goods sold in the cafe are simple but creative 🫶🏻 Japanese people really know how to make money!! ️😂 Almost everything has Xiaoyu styling design😉 It’s perfect for checking in However, the taste is relatively ordinary but the price is very cheap🤪 If you just take a break, I don't think there is too much demand for quality 🫣 If you are very fond of ❤️ cats then I recommend you can visit here 🤔 the ​​whole trip may be 2 hours is enough 👍🏻 #Japan Must-See Photo Spots #Parent-Child Places Guide #Weekend Trip #Overseas Trip #foodphotography #foodphotography #Japan Travel #Japan Attractions #Japan Free Trip

When your boyfriend is a railway fan and your girlfriend is a cat lover (or vice versa), how can you satisfy your boyfriend/girlfriend at the same place while having fun yourself? "Kishi Station" in Kishigawa City, Wakayama Prefecture is a good choice. 📍 No. 803, Kobe, Kishikawa Town, Wakayama Prefecture Nokawa City 🚊Terminal station of Wakayama Electric Railway Kishigawa Line ⛔️ There is no parking lot near Kishi Station. It is more convenient to take the Wakayama Electric Railway directly. Kishi Station is the terminus of the Kishi River Line operated by Wakayama Electric Railway. In order to save resources, the station was converted into an "unmanned" station, and a clerk from a store near the station also served as the station manager. Because the store clerk at that time kept a calico cat "Xiaoyu", the railway company appointed "Xiaoyu" as the station master, which attracted many tourists to visit. The first-generation cat webmaster "Xiaodama" passed away in 2015 and was named a patron saint. If you go now, you will see it at the shrine on the platform, as well as the second-generation cat "Xiaodama". If you are tired, you can sit down at the station and have a cup of coffee. #LookattheEarthInstantly #OverseasTravel #Japan #wageyama #kishieki #猫 slave #railtour #countryside series #japan #cafe

Kinokawa City, Wakayama Prefecture, the kingdom of fruit. This weekend, the whole family will be picking strawberries 🍓 A 30-minute train ride from JR Wakayama Station. The area around Wakayama Electric Railway's Kishi Station, known for "Tama Stationmaster," is also famous for strawberry picking 🍓 This time, we visited the Kishigawa Strawberry Picking Association, about a 10-minute walk from the station. For 1,500 yen for adults and 1,000 yen for elementary school students, you can eat as many delicious strawberries as you like! Another great point is that there is no time limit! You can also bring condensed milk, so it's a good idea to prepare it. You can enjoy strawberry picking from January to mid-May! The Wakayama Electric Railway's trains are wrapped in playful designs, so the travel time is sure to be fun 🛤 #Wakayama #StrawberryPicking #CoupleTrip #Gourmet #TripToEnjoySpring #Fruit #WakayamaElectricRailway

🏖️Overview: Mt. Izumi Katsuragi is a mountain⛰️ with an altitude of 858m, located on the border between Osaka and Wakayama prefectures. The beech forest that spreads around the summit is rare for a low mountain, and it is designated as a national natural monument🫢 because it is close to the southernmost limit of Honshu. You can drive to the summit, but there are also several hiking trails, so you can enjoy hiking🥾. 💞Reasons why we recommend it: To climb Mt. Izumi Katsuragi, we parked our car🚙 in the parking lot of Highland Park Konagawa and set off. Since it was at a high altitude, we reached the top in about 40 minutes. The view from the summit is not good, but it is a mountain of faith🙏, so there are two shrines⛩️. On the other hand, there is a Mt. Katsuragi observation deck nearby, and the view from here is outstanding👌. 📍Location: Kirihata, Kinokawa City, Wakayama Prefecture, Toharacho, Kishiwada City, Osaka Prefecture, Sobahara, Kaizuka City 📍Access: ※Drop off along the hiking route Ushiyama bus stop 🚃Kishiwada Station on the Nankai Main Line, get off at Kumeda Station on the JR Hanwa Line 🚌Nankai Bus Kishiwada Station → Kumeda → Ushitakiyama bus stop Tohara bus stop 🚃Kishiwada Station on the Nankai Main Line, get off at Higashi Kishiwada Station on the JR Hanwa Line 🚌Nankai Bus Kishiwada Station → Higashi Kishiwada Station → Tohara bus stop Sobahara bus stop 🚃Mizuma Railway Mizumakannon station 🚌Koma Bus Mizumakannon station → Sobahara bus stop Inunakiyama bus stop 🚃JR Hanwa Line Izumisano station 🚌Nankai Wing Bus Izumisano Station → Inunakiyama bus stop 🚗By car: There is a parking lot at the summit #Izumikatsuragiyama #Domestic travel strategy

If you're looking for a less-traveled destination in Kansai, Wakayama is highly recommended. It's charming and fulfilling without the need for rushed sightseeing. If you have enough time, you can extend your trip further south. 🏯 Must-see attractions: 1. Wakayama Castle🍁🌸 One of Japan's top 100 castles, built by Toyotomi Hideyoshi. The panoramic view from the castle tower is breathtaking. The spring cherry blossom season (late March to early April) is particularly stunning, with the entire city covered in pink cherry blossoms. The Momijidani Garden at the foot of the castle is also recommended. It's a small, beautiful Japanese garden that should be gorgeous during the autumn foliage season. I visited a little early, just as the leaves were starting to change color, but it was very peaceful. Opening hours: 09:00-17:30, admission is approx. JPY 410, with discounts available for Kansai Wide Area Pass holders. 2. Tamaden Train Line🚇 Before going, I wondered what was so special about a train line! After visiting, I had to admire the Japanese ability to create attractive tourist products. The various Tamaden train designs are incredibly cute and detailed. At the station, you can draw a cat fortune slip for JPY 100🐈. It's located right at the JR station, making it very convenient for tourists transferring from Osaka. I saw a Kumano Kodo Trail sign at a small station along the way, which I'd like to experience next time. 🍱Food destinations: Wakayama ramen and the hidden gem Michelin-recommended eel restaurant, Niyoryo, both offer excellent dining experiences and delicious food. 🚉Transportation guide: Osaka to Wakayama: Take the JR Kuroshio train, which takes about an hour. There are frequent departures. The JR Kansai Wide Area Pass covers the fare, and you can also use it for free travel on the Kishigawa Line in Wakayama, which is a great way to maximize the value of your JR Pass. Local transportation: Buses and the Kishigawa Line cover most areas, making it convenient to travel by public transport. 📝Tips: Wakayama JR Station has MIO and Kintetsu department stores, making it convenient for shopping and buying souvenirs. Local shops offer a wide variety of plum products.

If you have time, you really have to come to Wakayama and take the Kodama Train! The cute trams are very photogenic and cute. If you like cats, don't miss it.

#Osaka Attractions This trip to Wakayama made me deeply realize the true meaning of travel. As I boarded the famous Wakayama Electric Railway Kishigawa Line, my heart was filled with anticipation and excitement. The moment I walked into the station, I was stunned by the scene in front of me! The lovely Tama tram is like a dream train in a fairy tale. The brightly colored body and cat patterns hanging on the windows instantly made me forget the tiredness of the journey. From Kansai Airport, I took the JR train to Wakayama. The approximately 40-minute ride made me very excited. Once you arrive at Wakayama Station, you can easily find the train to Kishi. The ticket is only 410 yen, which is really good value! I recommend that you purchase the "Wakayama Electric Railway Kishigawa Line One-Day Pass", which not only allows you to get on and off the train as you please, but also allows you to fully explore every surprise along the way. As the tram slowly started, the scenery outside the window unfolded like a picture scroll. Along the way, each small station had its own charm, such as small shrines and stamp collection points, which made me want to get off the bus to explore. Especially at Kishi Station, taking a photo with Station Master Xiaoyu became the highlight of my trip. As the representative of cats, webmaster Xiaoyu is so cute! Here, I felt the deep emotions between humans and animals. The story of Stationmaster Xiaoyu moved me to tears. Its existence not only attracted many tourists, but also made every visitor feel warm. At the stationmaster's post, the fourth-generation Xiaoyu lay quietly, as if sharing its story. Seeing such a harmonious picture, I can't help but feel the charm of traveling: it is not only a change of scenery, but also a cleansing of the soul. The Kodama Shrine at Kishi Station made me think deeply. Everything here seemed to be telling a story of love and companionship. Every detail is filled with gratitude and remembrance for Xiaoyu, which gives me a deeper understanding of the preciousness of life. In this bustling station, whether local residents or tourists, everyone feels each other's emotions in this resonance. This trip on the Wakayama Kodama Tram is not only a wonderful memory, but also a nourishment to my soul. When I walked out of the station, my heart was filled with emotion and gratitude, which made me cherish every moment of life even more. I hope every traveler can find his or her own touch and surprise during the trip! 🌟 #osaka

We purchased an itinerary from a travel platform and took a sightseeing tram from Itakino Station to Kishi Station. We set off at about 3pm and were lucky enough to get on the most classic and retro cat tram. The entire carriage was decorated with 🐈 cats (pictures/ceiling decorations/seats, etc.). The ride took about 10 minutes, passing through villages and scattered houses along the way. The lazy sunshine sprinkled into the carriage, and the interior atmosphere and exterior scenery were both amazing! After arriving at Kishi Station, there is only one cafe and souvenir shop in the small station. You will stay there for about half an hour. If you are lucky, you can see the cat stationmaster or take photos on the platform while waiting for the return train.

Ride along on the Tama Museum train to Kishi station to visit a real cat that has become the stationmaster. If you love cats and are near Wakayama, taking the short trip down to Kishi is easy. You can get a day pass for 800 yen and a map that tells you various things to do at the stations along the way including picking strawberries. All the train cars are themed. The most beautiful is the Tama Museum BUT they also have a normal Tama one as well as a strawberry one and other themes. It always makes the ride more interesting when there is a well done theme right? How to get there: Wakayama station isn’t far from Osaka. Once there look for platform 9. You can let the cat pictures lead the way. What to do: Take pictures of all the cute cats. Check out Japanese countryside What to eat: At the Kishi station there is a small cafe. You can grab a cool drink and hotdog for pretty cheap. Shopping: Beware cat lovers! There is a shop with all things Tama! And it’s all very cute. Perhaps a small button will be enough or maybe you will go for the pens and notebooks or even a T-shirt! Extra activities: If you get a day pass, most stops along the line have an interesting place to visit. Also bring a stamp book and start your station stamp collection with one from Kishi station. Overall a fun half day/whole day trip from Osaka.

As a tram lover, I have always wanted to ride a Wakayama Electric Railway tram🚋 Wakayama Electric Railway is a local self-operated railway company in Wakayama City. It has a 14.3-kilometer Kishi River Line connecting Wakayama Station and Kishi Station. A few years ago, due to population decline, the deficit was almost eliminated. What I never expected was that a cute little calico cat at the end of Kishi Station would attract people's attention and love. It was Xiaoyu, the webmaster who was later appointed. Through media reports and the Internet, Xiaoyu's webmaster's popularity continues to increase, and tourists from all over the world come here to see his true face. Later, Wakayama Electric Railway launched a special train with the theme of Station Master Kodama. It's a pity that the webmaster Xiaoyu passed away soon. Now the junior stationmaster Eryu and trainee stationmaster Siyu have taken over their posts and stick to their posts, enthusiastically welcoming tourists from all over the world every day. This time I also came to Kishi Station, met the lovely Station Master Futama, and experienced riding the Kodama Tram. At that moment, I was deeply healed. In addition, there is Kodama Shrine on the platform of Kishi Station. Don’t miss the Kodama-themed coffee shop and surrounding souvenir shops inside the station. I recommend everyone to travel to Wakayama and experience riding the Kodama Electric Railway. 🚃Transportation: JR Wakayama Station, just transfer to Wakayama Electric Railway. 👉🏻Friendly reminder: Buy a one-day ticket for 800 yen, which is very economical. Please note: Check the timetable of each theme train on the Chinese official website in advance and choose the theme train you want to take.

If you like riding trains then Tama train in Wakayama is for you! The train station is dedicated to a cat and he was appointed the station master there. There is also a museum and souvenir shop dedicated to Tama 🐈 #cherryblossom2024 #Kishistation #wakayama #spring

There is a "cat stationmaster" waiting for you on the Wakayama Electric Railway Kishikawa Line in Kinokawa City, Wakayama Prefecture, Japan To visit 😍, fortunately I happened to go with the same Japanese geisha and car, her words, behavior and clothing really opened the eyes, holding three points of admiration, making my electric rail trip more colorful #JapanKorea Spring Good Places

I didn't plan to come here because of the special station masters, as I didn't know about them. But after riding the TamaDen, I thought it was great. Trains all look the same in Japan, so seeing this themed one made my trip even better. Everything at this station is cute. You can use the one-day pass that allows round-trip access to Kishi Station to save a couple bucks as well. Wish HK has some more fun designs in the MRTs! #winhkflight

🚃Who is Takashi Tama? Xiaodama is a stray cat whose name is well-known in the hearts of cat lovers all over the world. With his position as the stationmaster of Kishi Station, he saved the Kishi Line from the brink of bankruptcy and made it a well-known line in Wakayama. Unfortunately, in 2015, the first generation Xiaoyu returned to Meow Star, and Xiaoyu's subordinates Eryu and Siyu took over the position of "webmaster" 🚃How to get to Kishi Line? There are two main lines from Osaka to Kishi. 1: From Namba, take the Nankai Main Line to Wakayama City Station, then transfer to JR or bus to Wakayama Station 2: Take the JR Hanwa Line from Tennoji to Wakayama Station and directly connect to the Kishi Line ⚠️The JR line is the most convenient, but you cannot use the Kansai Free Pass. The Nanhai Main Line is available, so you can choose the Nanhai Main Line to save money. But please note that the Nankai Electric Railway will be divided into two trains at Hineno Station, and some carriages are bound for Kansai Airport. Pay attention to the radio in the car 🚃Find the Kishi Line JR Wakayama Station platforms have cat logos on the ground, walls, steps, and signs, making it easy to find the platform where you take the Kishi Line (Platform 9) 🐱Check Xiaoyu timetable There are four types of trains on the Kishi Line: Kotama (cat train), Strawberry train, Umeboshi train and Animal Welfare train. There are very few Kotama trains at the moment. You can go to Wakayama Electric Railway to check the timetable. 🔍Inquiry method: 1. Wakayama Electric Railway 2. Find the timetable 3. Timetable for all lines depending on the day of travel. 4. Select the date you want to travel 5.

You can get off at stations along the way to visit other attractions. ⚠️When getting off the Kishi Line train, you must get off through the front door. 🐱Where can I watch Cat Webmaster? The final stop, Kishi Station, is where the cat station manager works. Kishi Station is a very small place to visit in a short time. There is a Kodama Museum and a Kodama Coffee Shop at the station. Webmaster Mao gets off work around 16:00, so be sure to get there early.

Take a look at the cat, the cat station master of Wakayama, Osaka Cat lovers must go. The cuteness of the cat waiting for you, plus 4 cute trains to choose from. You can travel as a one-day trip that will accommodate all cat lovers. Travel from Osaka > Wakayama by taking the train from Tennoji Station on the Hanwa Line and getting off at Wakayama Station. Then take the Wakayama Dentetsu-Kishigawa Line. This line has 4 different styles and times for us to ride, but each line is cute in a different way. There is a history of the cat Tama. Get off at the first station to see Yontama @IDAKISO Station and then go see Nitama at the final station @KISHI Station. We will see the history and buy souvenirs at this station... Cat lovers who visit Osaka can stop by to visit them as new places to visit. I guarantee that you will get a lot of pictures because they are so cute. (If anyone comes, you can stop by Wakayama city later.) #wakayama #Tamastationmaster
