[Yamaguchi] I actually planned to go further! Nishikicho Station, the last stop in the mountains

#0 yen trip Nishikicho Station is the terminus of the Nishikigawa Railway Nishikigawa Seiryu Line, located in Nishikicho, Iwakuni City, Yamaguchi Prefecture. This line was once planned as the JNR Iwahi Line, and was conceived as part of the Inyo Link Line connecting Iwakuni Station to Nippara Station. It was opened up to Nishikicho Station in 1963, but the extension plan was canceled, and the section north of Nishikicho was left unfinished. A sightseeing car called the "Tokotoko Train" currently operates on the approximately 6 km section from Nishikicho Station to Futsukyou Onsen Station, which is now an unfinished line. The area around Nishikicho Station is home to the Nishiki General Branch Office of Iwakuni City Hall and Nishiki Central Hospital, and serves as the center of the region. The Nishikigawa Railway's headquarters is also located within the station building, making it an important transportation hub for the region. In addition, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery along the Nishiki River from the station, making it a popular spot for railroad fans and tourists.
