I went to see what kind of station is "Kokoro station in Japan" Koboro station



There are people who visit the station that exists near the station where there are few people nearby as "a mysterious station" and even if there are no sights around it, there are plans for the station itself. Among them, it is called "the most unexplored station in Japan", in Hokkaido "Koboro station"is. The extent of the unexplored area can be known from the photos and the like that people visited, but I thought that I wanted to feel, I went to the site.

The location of Koboro station is here. It is the Muroran main line station connecting Iwamizawa via Muroran City from Shimanba area on the Uchiura bay.


The Muroran Main Line itself is a route that runs numerous express trains and freight trains connecting Hakodate and Sapporo by way of Chitose Line which is divided along the way, but since Kodo Station has very few visitors, one of the regular trains Only stop department. The number goes to Higashiro Rangu way three days a day, and goes to Nagamasibu five days a day.

This time, I started from Toya station, after getting off at Koboro station, I decided to come back to Toya again.


I got on a long way from Toya station at 8:07. There are many people in the home on the other side with big suitcases, but of course I can not go to Koboro station ......


People heading towards Sapporo at Super Hokuto No.1.


The train will continue along the Uchiura bay for a while, but leave the sea in front of the Rebun station and inland. As for Toya station, most people got off at Toyoura Station, and at the time of Rebun Station, there was only one accompanying person who also aimed at Koboro station, and about two other people were on board It was.


When entering Rebun Station you enter a long tunnel. This place I left is Koboro station. The fare is 450 yen from Toya station. Taking the first train from Tomakomai is 2160 yen.


I got off at the Koboro station 29 minutes after I left Toya Station. Looking at the back of the car, the second two of the two car train had stopped in the tunnel. There is no particular obstacle as it will only get off the front door in one-man operation.


The second pair seemed to be the Kiha 150 form, and the train ran away to the tunnel with a different face than what I saw when he got on. In this way, you can see that Koboro station is between the tunnel and the tunnel.


It has a station number "H45" and I feel that it is one of the proper stations even though it is a mysterious station. Since Koboro station is known as the most unexplored station in the existing station, the number of people visiting in this way is never few, and the snow piled up on the home leads to the boarding position and getting off there The route up to was stamped. Of course, snow removal work is also done.


There is a warning note at home, which shows that many people visit Koboro station for photography purposes.


This is the diamond that went to Shimanbu, which was in the home we got down. Since we arrived at the train at 8:33 this time, if we want to go to Shimanbu, we need to wait until 11:35.


I got off the platform and looked back from a slightly opened position. The front is the home to Higashirou direction, the part with the handrail on the right side is home to Shimanbaki.


When wandering around, the alarm beeping began to sound from the tunnel. This indicates the passing of the train, and eventually a voice announcement flows. Since the home for Oshomanbu is quite narrow, it is better to retreat to the opened part when passing through the train.

A stuff is built in this opened part, but of course you can not enter.


There seemed to be a viper depending on the season, and there were many notes of note.


The toilet where the door has come off.


Going further south from here, you can leave the coast, but I gave up thinking about the time to return train. It should be a bit easier if there is no snow.


Cross the railroad crossing to the other side.


...... However, I do not know exactly where the correct railroad crossing position is due to snow cover.


As you cross the railroad crossing, looking at the left side, two mouths of the tunnel in the Oshimanbaku line line up. On the left is the Horonai tunnel, the right side is the Shin-Edge Kabe tunnel, and next to the nameplate "Horouchi" is written as "Miuragihama", this is the name of the tunnel in front of the Horonai tunnel.


On the right side (Higashirou Ranpo), Rebunbaka mountain tunnel on the left and New Rebun Bunkan Mountain tunnel on the right.


At the rail side towards Higashiro Orchid, the treadle of the railroad crossing was visible.


From this side, it may be easy to understand where the railroad crossing is.


I can see the home that I arrived for Oshimanba is like this.


To the home to Higashiomura, there was a sticker for the anglers "Please release the clay full length less than 35 cm". It is a station not near any other village, but it seems that in addition to railway fans, anglers often use it.


To Higashimuran direction, there are only 3 of the day from 9:16 departure · 15:40 departure · 17:55 departure day.


Because there were too few stoppages, on January 21 a small incident occurred that the regular train passed. At this time, the express and Hokuto through Koboro station were stopped temporarily. You can watch the movie of the situation at that time, the principal who encountered the case is uploading it.


There is a river running from the north of the station, passing under the home.


The back side of the station name mark was on the mountain and it was a mountain, and footprints like small animals remained on the snow. As expected, it seems difficult for people to climb here.


At first, it seems that some people receive the impression that the national highway No. 37 (bile national highway) is running so far and not being far away as a secret place because there are times when you can hear the driving noise of the car Due to the fact that snow absorbed the sound on the sun, it was almost silent, and it was an atmosphere of a secret bust closed by snow.

Even though it is closed, the sea side is open so there is no sense of blockage.


To the Higashiomoran To the east end of the home, before the tunnel the equipment room of the electric station. It is 48 meters above sea level here. The boxes placed in front of the building contain station notes.


Eventually, there was a warning sound again. This is a sound to inform the arrival of the return train, so we can not let go and get on.

Take the train you arrived and enter the Rebun-Hwa Tunnel, you completely separated from Koboro station.


This time I arrived at 8:33 arrival · 9:16 departure, with the shortest stay time pattern, but I arrived at 7:14 when traveling to Shimanbu, for example, at 8:33 which I used when I come this time There are also hands to get out to Shimanbaki by departure.

Records that visited Koboro station are open to the public many people want to know more about sightseeing and routes around here, get off at Rebun Station east of Koboro station.


As I get off the station and go straight ahead there is an intersection ... ...


Turn left. There is a barber shop opposite the leave of the post office. Here you can purchase the brochure named 'Navigate God of Rebellious Tourism Guide' a little + 'at 800 yen.
