Location: Lake Sesso, Kawanehoncho Town, Shizuoka Prefecture Timestamp: 8:44 on August 23, 2023 Elevation: 530.7 m
This view is one-half of the elevated railway near Okuoikojo Station on the Ikawa Line of Ōigawa Railway, Shizuoka Prefecture.
This portion of the elevated railway lies southwest of Okuoikojo Station, a station that is serviced by the Ikawa Line operated by Ōigawa Railway in Shizuoka Prefecture. If you continue on your journey heading southwest, you will reach the terminal Senzu Station.
The vantage point for this shot is the Okuoikojo Station Observation Point, which is actually a paved automotive street that has been closed to vehicular traffic. Accessible within a short 10-minute stroll from the Okuoikojo Station parking lot or a 15-minute walk from Okuoikojo Station itself (depending on your fitness level and assuming you are wearing proper footwear).
Completed in 1935, construction of this railway line was undertaken by the Ōigawa Electric Company as a private line. Its primary purpose was to transport workers and materials upstream, facilitating dam construction, which resulted in the creation of Lake Sesso.
