Obasute Station Night View Train ナイトビュー姨捨
2016年9月27日
Boarding a reservation only train that takes just a little over 30 minutes to reach its destination, I was treated to a stunning night view from Obasute Station.
The Obasute Night View Train
Savory Local Dishes
The ride allowed us enough time to dig into this hearty bento which even included rice harvested from our destination, Obasute.
The View
Despite the rain, the city lights still offered a beautiful scene. The moon rising over the rice fields must be stunning.
Warm Hospitality
Upon our arrival, guides were waiting to greet us, and we were given details of the area's history in English.
Within the station, we were treated to free warm miso soup and naturally sweet amazake as well as live music.
