Filming Date: March 4th and 5th, 2019
I visited five stations: Monhonai, Hokusei, Nukanan, Toyoshimizu, and Shimonuma.
This video is a compilation of footage I shot last winter while touring these remote stations on a local train, following news that 13 remote stations on the Soya Main Line would be closed with the 2021 timetable revision.
No stations have been closed on the Soya Main Line in the past decade, and Horonobe Town has even begun efforts to promote remote stations as tourist attractions, so there was no sign of any stations being closed. However, I was surprised to hear that remote stations, including two in Horonobe Town, would be closed.
It was midwinter, temperatures dropping to minus 10 degrees Celsius, and I had to wait an hour at a station with no heating or lighting. At the time, I even wanted to go home. However, I never imagined that this might be my first and last visit.
