Japan’s Amazing Train Station Like “Spirited Away“: Shimonada, Takamatsu to Yawatahama

We board the limited express train from Takamatsu to Shimonada Station, which is said to be the model for the station in the Ghibli movie “Spirited Away“, a worldwide hit. Trains arrive only once every two to three hours. The ocean stretches out before your eyes. I thought it was an unmanned station in the countryside, but it turned out to be a major tourist attraction visited by many Instagrammers. Enjoy!
