Spy Photo of Obasute Station's soon-to-be-finished viewing deck
10月から始まるＪＲ全グループの「信州デスティネーションキャンペーン」向かって、千曲市の唯一のＪＲ駅、姨捨のホームを改造しています。そのホームから、お昼は「田毎の月」棚田、夜は善光寺平の夜景を眺めます。さらによく見れるように、半円の展望台を作っています。今も工事中ですが、ちょっと覗いてみたのでこの写真を撮りました。そろそろ完成される予定なので楽しみにしています。
Japan Rail will feature Nagano Prefecture in an upcoming "Destination Campaign". As part of the preparation, Chikuma City's lone JR station, Obasute, is getting a facelift. The platform offers breathtaking views of the moon-reflecting "Tagoto-no-tsuki" terraced rice fields, as well as views of the lights of the Zenkoji Plain at night. In order to better see those sights, JR is building a half-circle viewing deck extension to the existing train platform. It's still being worked on, but I snuck this picture to give you a sense of what it will look like. I can't wait for it to be finished!
