Snowy Switchback
亀清旅館・戸倉上山田温泉から車で１０分の姨捨駅。スイッチバック式と言う特徴的な作り。
お客様の送迎で訪ねました。雪景色と言う綺麗な背景で姨捨駅の駅舎とホーム、そして長野駅方面から上ってきているＪＲ篠ノ井線の電車をちょうど見れました。
鉄道ファンにたまらない！（私もその一人です…）
A quick 10 minute drive from Kamesei Ryokan and our onsen town Togura-Kamiyamada, Obasute Station has a unique construction. It is built switchback style.
While dropping off a guest there, I took time to venture out to Platform #2 which serves as a viewing platform for the Zenkoji Plain down below. I was rewarded with a wintery scene of Obasute Station covered in snow, and of the JR Shinonoi Line train coming up from Nagano Station on its way to switchback into Obasute Station.
For train fans like me, that was really exciting!
