In November 2024, we made a brief stop at this station to catch a bus to the Fukui Prefectural Dinosaur Museum.
While waiting for the bus, I considered exploring around the station, but it was quite cold that day, so I decided to stay inside. The staff was kind and helpful, even though our Japanese skills were limited.
The bus to the Fukui Prefectural Dinosaur Museum stops right in front of the station and is easy to identify by the dinosaur images on it. Payment is only by cash.
Alternatively, there are taxi waiting outside the station.
A classic wooden station with a charming, vintage atmosphere. It captures the essence of the old days perfectly.
Lovely small old fashioned station. Friendly staff and clean. Takes about 1h from Fukui to get here and is the get off point for the Dinosaur Museum. Has a 1920 small train carriage on show.
The station staff were very helpful when I found out the additional bus services during the weekends had retired during April. They directed me to a phone at the station that instantly connects you to a taxi driver.
Friendly staff help me get a taxi to katsuyama castle
