I walked 23.8km along the former Japanese National Railways Manji Line.Total 2 sessions. It opened in 1914 and closed in 1985. There were 23 coal mines, large and small, along the Manji Line, and most of the cargo was coal.Passenger service operates six round trips per day. When the coal mines closed, people suddenly left the area and there are many ruins. I couldn't find the abandoned railway line, so I basically walked towards the remains of the station. 0:00 1968 timetable 1:00 Starting point: Sibun Station 5:18 Kamishibun Station ruins 8:40 Asahi Station ruins 12:50 Mirto Station ruins. The Miruto Coal Mine Line ran from this station. I walked here later too
I couldn't find the abandoned railway line on Google or even when I walked there. This time, I walked along the prefectural road, heading for the remains of the station.

Another serene exploration of railways.. thanks you ! :)
Even lonely landscapes are beautiful.
Sweet video my friend! The atmosphere was calming :) Thank you for the relaxing experience! L18 🙏🇯🇵❤️🛤️🚃🌿🏠🌳👍
Thank you very much. I'm happy.
It's very sad to look at the current state of Hokkaido. Especially the future of the railways there.
I don't think "things were better in the old days," but when it comes to railways, "things were better in the old days."
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

where can I find this on google maps?

Why is light blue such a common colour for buildings?
I don't think there's any deeper meaning to it.
You need to take a brushcutter, weed spray, paint and maybe a welder for those stairs.
If this were Tokyo, walking would definitely be prohibited.
