【Introduction of deep spots in Taiki Town】

📍 Former JNR Hiroo Line Taiki Station Ruins

In Taiki Town, there are still the remains of the station building of the Hiroo Line, a railway connecting Obihiro and Hiroo, which operated until Showa 62.
Taiju Station opened in 1930 (Showa 5), and at its peak, the number of passengers per day exceeded 1,000 Use.

The place where the tracks used to be is now a square called "Taiju Traffic Park", and the station building still remains.
You can't go inside the building, but if you look through the window, you can see that the ticket gates and waiting rooms are still there.
On the remains of the platform, there are still station name signs and signal levers.

In Hakurin Park on the north side of Taiki Town Town Hall, the SL "No. 59611", which ran on the Hiroo Line until 1975 (Showa 50) after being active in various parts of Hokkaido, is on display.
It seems that it was installed at the urging of SL fans in the town.

Why don't you come and feel the remnants of the railway running in Taiki Town?
