Hello from a Japanese Railway Station fan!

Hi Everyone!
 

The wife and I have been travelling around Japan via rail for close to a decade now. On recent trips, we've been exploring the more rural parts of Japan, and have been astounded by the incredible charm of the quieter railway stations.
 

On our last trip, we thought we'd take more photos and videos to share with friends and fellow enthusiasts.
So, presenting 5 Stations of Shiga - mostly on the Ohmi Railway 近江鉄道株式会社 - hope you'll enjoy them as much as we did!

Many thanks for the video. The embedded one is particularly charming, nice recording and nice music too. A very good example of what a good 5' video can be. 

 

Thumb up !

@JR East
Thanks for the kind words!
Yes, we did search long and hard for a music track that captured the feeling of these beautiful old stations.
Glad you like it!
