Visited together with the former Okuyukiusu Ekiteisho (post station). Along with the stop building, an 8 T self-propelled passenger car, an internal-combustion locomotive, and a milk gondola car are on display as the real thing. You can also tour the inside of the stop building. Although small in scale, dioramas and valuable railway goods were on display. The vehicles were well preserved too. I imagine upkeep is tough, but I hope it will be preserved for future generations forever.

According to the materials, in 1963 (Showa 38), part of the line from JNR Okuyukiusu Station to Kamifuren Elementary School opened ☺️. Then the following year, Showa 39, it was extended to the town office's Kamifuren branch. It says it was the local residents' only means of transportation, their way of getting around daily, and indispensable for transporting goods 👏. However, with the changing times and changes in means of transportation, usage likely declined, and it says it was abolished in 1971 (March, Showa 46) 😱. The preserved items include the former station staff office, the self-propelled passenger car and locomotive, and a freight car. A turntable also remains 👏. Visiting, you can feel that this is a piece of transportation heritage that was the means of transport for local residents in eastern Hokkaido 👏.

The simplified railway's station building, a diesel locomotive, a self-propelled passenger car, and a milk gondola car are preserved here, making it an irresistible place for fans. Nearby are also the former Okuyukiusu Station and the former Okuyukiusu Ekiteisho, which evoke the days when this was a key transportation hub. Apparently there's a plan to redevelop the whole area in a few years and run a restored self-propelled passenger car. I imagine upkeep is tough, but it's precious heritage I want preserved for future generations.

Apparently it's read 'Okuyukiusu'. It was apparently a colonization railway for transporting settlers free of charge.

When it comes to Hokkaido, it's simplified railways! In winter everything is covered with blue tarps for protection, so you can't see the self-propelled passenger car and such! But just being able to see the bogies, underframes, and trumpet-shaped (asagao) couplers was enough to satisfy me. I wandered around the area imagining what it was like back then and had the best time.
