2. Kitahama station (JR Senmo Main Line)

Kitahama station the station closest to the Sea of Okhotsk. Its wooden station building and old-fashioned red mailboxes create a rustic atmosphere.
At some point, business cards began to be posted inside the station building, and now you can see countless business cards. The coffee shop "Teishaba" attached to the station building is modeled after the interior of an old train, creating a great atmosphere. From the station platform, you can see the Sea of Okhotsk up close, and from the observation deck you can look out over the Shiretoko Peninsula.
It's also nice to indulge in nostalgia at Kitahama station.
