Introducing the photos posted on "Everyone's Post"!

This is a pickup post of the inbound tourism information SNS "Cool Japan Video".
Today, I would like to introduce "Teppy's post "Okuoikojo Station" with a superb view in the hinterland of Shizuoka.

The station built as if floating on the lake and the magnificent nature are a spectacular view.

Okuōikojo Station (奥大井湖上駅, Okuōikojo-eki) is a station on the Ōigawa Railway Ikawa Line in Kawanehoncho, Haibara-gun, Shizuoka Prefecture, Tokai region, which won the "COOL JAPAN AWARD 2019".
It was built on a peninsula-like site that came out on the left bank during the construction of the Nagashima Dam.

The scenery that seems to be floating on the lake has become a hot topic on SNS.
To get to the viewpoint with a superb view of the station and nature, it is about an 18-minute walk from the parking lot of Okuoikojo Station.
It is also recommended to actually enter the station and tour the platform.
In addition, the iron bridge "Okuoi Rainbow Bridge" of the Minami Alps Aputo Line (Ikawa Line) that spans both sides of the peninsula where the station is located can be crossed on foot.

The Ōigawa Railway is also famous for the popular anime "Thomas the Tank Engine".
You can also take the Toby the Tank Engine and the Bertie bus.
There are also plans for day tours and a little longer to enjoy with Thomas Land.
From December ~ January 2022, Thomas Fair will be held at two locations, "Shin-Kanaya Main Venue" and "Senzu Satellite Venue". It is full of highlights such as driving a mini SL and an exhibition of Thomas' nakama.
In addition, a gift plan will be held for 3 days only from December 23 (Fri) ~ 25 (Sun), 2022.
Children under elementary school age who ride the Thomas the Tank Engine during the period will receive Christmas presents. Please check the official website for details.
