Local line schedule, Kadohara station in Fukui, near Mt.Arashima

Kadohara station

On the other Thursday, I took a short ride of Etsumi-hokusen, a local train between Fukui and Ono, from Kadohara to Shimo-Yuino to go back to the place I parked my car, after hiking in Mt.Arashima.

Because there is one of entrances of Mt.Arashima 1,523m (4,997ft) near here, many hikers use this station to approach that mountain.

It is not so high but being an isolated peek with outstanding view, and because a famous writer Kyuya Fukada chose it as one of "One Hundred Mountains in Japan" back in the 1960s, the mountain is very popular among the hikers ever in Japan.

Kadohara station operates without a conductor

There are few trains on the schedule here as you see above, and it's not so convenient for us especially on weekdays. However, I saw quite a number of people in the mountain, who came from Hokkaido, Tokyo and the other places far away. That's "One Hundred Mountains in Japan".
