From Matsuyama, Shikoku, it takes one hour by a small train. Shimonada Station, a small unmanned station along the Seto Inland Sea, is quietly gaining popularity. It all started with a photo posted on the Internet by a tourist. Men and women, young and old, flock to the station to take in the spectacular view of the endless expanse of sea, with only a roof and a bench standing still. A student uses a self-timer to take a picture of himself slumped over against the setting sun. A man stops by on his way home from work when he feels down. What do people think about at the station where everyone stares at the sea?
