A station (and local train as well) I saw in the Kore-eda's movie "Our Little Sister" fascinated me. I searched and found that It's Ashio station on Watarase Keikoku Line in Tochigi.
I immediately started to plan the trip to visit there. Solo travel, just for the train and the station.
I stayed at a hotel in Kiryu city and began the journey the next early morning.
Hope you enjoy this video. Thank you.

I’ve bumped into yours. Being born in Takachiho, Miyazaki almost 66 years ago, I’ve been nostalgic about taking a Takachiho Line to school Both had been gone with the passage of times. But beautiful landscapes and memories still are on my heart and mind. Thank you! I’m now from Thailand.

Thank YOU for sharing your memories, sir. Takachiho has just been put on my travel wish list. Just like I decided on this trip by just one movie, I think someday I will go there by your comment.

I did the exact same thing - visit Ashio in Tochigi ken to ride the Watarase train from Ashio to Kiryu. I came from Nikko via bus to Ashio. Ashio a very special place to me. I was just there in Late October of 2023, and before that way back in 1965 as a child, with my mother. Ashio is where my mother was born and raised along with generations of her clan going back to the 12th century. I wanted to see the momiji turned red, but I was too early, or the momiji was late. The train is older than I am. I loved the sound, and smell of the diesel engined train. Also really enjoyed our brief stop to pick up food vendors, and enjoy a lunch on the train. I hope I can visit again one day.
