(Translated by Google) If the eastern representative of active local railways running in small towns is Choshi Electric Railway, the western representative is Kishu Railway, which is running through Gobo town today as well. Kishu Gobo Station is the only manned station on Kishu Railway, and you can buy hard tickets (depending on the waiting time, you might get there faster by walking lol). It is also the main station of the train service, where there is also a train depot, and you can tour the base at Choden. However, this is not possible The Kiha 603 train that once ran next to the station has been preserved, and the station building has become a small exhibition hall. (Original) 小さな町を走る現役ローカル鉄道の東の代表が銚子電鉄なら、西はこの紀州鉄道でしょうね、今日も御坊のまちをトコトコ走ってます 紀州御坊駅は紀州鉄道の唯一の有人駅で硬券のきっぷが買えます（待ち時間によっては歩いたほうが早く着きますw）車両基地もある運行の中心駅でもあります、銚電では基地見学が出来ますがこちらは不可 駅横にかつて走っていたキハ603車両が静態保存され、駅舎内はちょっとした展示館になっています

(Translated by Google) Unfortunately, I didn't get to visit the station building, but I have no doubt that it is a very nice station. The car next to the station (the one that appeared as a toy in AIR) is apparently used as an office, so let's just be satisfied with its appearance. (Original) とても悔しいことに駅舎に訪れ損ねましたが、とてもいい駅であることには間違いないです。 駅横の車両(AIRにておもちゃとして出てきた車両)はオフィスとして普通に使用されているそうなので外観だけで満足しましょう。

(Translated by Google) The other day, I took a ride for the first time in a while. The driver, a nice older guy with white and long hair, had a great atmosphere. Although it was a short distance, it was a fun trip. I'd like to come back and ride again while I'm in Wakayama. (Original) 先日、久しぶりに乗車しました。白髪+ロン毛のナイスガイな年配の運転士さんがなんともいい雰囲気をだしてました。短い距離ですが楽しい旅になりました。和歌山にいる間にまた乗りに来たいです。

(Translated by Google) Nowadays, in the motorized society, large commercial facilities and various chain stores are concentrated along National Route 42, but at the time, the center of Gobo City was this way, and when it opened, JNR Gobo Station was It seems like it used to be on the outskirts of an empty town, but you can still see the remains of the shopping district from when it was the bustling center of town. In addition, Kishu Railway's headquarters is also located there as a subsidiary of a real estate company, but the railway business is in the red and it is not surprising that it will be abolished at any time, but the name value related to railway operators such as Tokyu Land and New Hankyu Hotel is Perhaps because of its reliability, this unassuming station exists to play the role of advertising expenses for the management of Kishu Railway hotel real estate, etc. (Original) 今では車社会の世の中で大型商業施設や各種チェーン店が軒並み国道４２号線沿いに集中していますが、当時の御坊市内の中心地は此方の方であり、開業当時の国鉄御坊駅は何もない町はずれだったようで、中心地として賑わっていた頃の商店街の名残りが観られます。 又、不動産会社系子会社として紀州鉄道本社も併設していますが鉄道事業は大赤字でいつ廃止されて不思議ではない状況なのですが、東急不動産や新阪急ホテルと言った鉄道事業者関連のネームバリューと信頼性からか、紀州鉄道ホテル不動産等運営の為の広告宣伝費的役割を担って地味な此の駅が存在します。

(Translated by Google) It is said to be the closest station to the center of Gobo. The huge station name sign is unique. Although it is a quiet station, there seems to be a certain number of passengers even during the daytime on weekdays, which is a relief. (Original) 一応、御坊の中心部に一番近い駅、と言うことですね。でかでかと書かれた駅名標がユニークです。 静かな駅ですが、平日の昼間でもある程度の乗客はいるようで一安心。

(Translated by Google) It is the only manned station on Kishu Railway. There is also a small museum. We are selling hard-copy tickets. Vehicles that were used by the company are on display at both ends of the station. (Original) 紀州鉄道で唯一の有人駅です。 ちょっとした資料館もあります。 硬券の切符を売り捌いています。 駅の両端に同社で活躍していた車両が展示されています。

(Translated by Google) Inside the station, there are small items on display from the past, and there are also cars that were used in the past placed on the side of the tracks. (Original) 駅構内には昔のちょっとしたグッズが展示されており、併せて昔使っていた車両も線路の脇に置かれていたりします。

(Translated by Google) The shortest railway company in Japan. The operating distance is 2.7 kilometers. I felt like it was a distance that could be covered on a bicycle, but I'll have to try it out. So, I took a ride from Nishigobo Station to Gobo Station. I feel that the area around Nishi-Gobo Station is more prosperous than the area around Gobo Station. However, I noticed about Platform 0 at JR Gobo Station after paying the fare on the train and getting off the train. I don't have any tickets, so how do I exit the JR ticket gate? I was so excited. At the ticket gate, I told them that I had paid on the train, and they let me through, but I was nervous. The train is a small train with two cars. Please continue to do your best as a citizen. (Original) 日本で一番短い鉄道会社。営業距離は２.7キロメートル。自転車で走破できそうな距離だなぁ、と感じましたが、これは乗ってみないと。ということで、西御坊駅から、御坊駅まで乗車。御坊駅のまわりより、こちらの西御坊駅の周りの方が栄えている気がします。しかし、JR御坊駅の0番線について、車内で運賃を支払って降りてから気づきました。私、なにも切符持ってないので、JRの改札をどうやって出たら良いの？とドキドキ。改札口で、電車内で精算しました、と言ったら通してもらえましたが、ドキドキでした。電車は二両の小さな電車。これからも市民の足として頑張って下さい。

(Translated by Google) Kishu Railway (non-electrified)/Nishigobo Station Japan's shortest local private railway terminal station It runs 2.7km in 8 minutes from JR Gobo Station to Gakumon Station to Kii-Gobo Station to Shiyakusho-mae Station to Nishi-Gobo Station. The number of passengers is low and the line is in the red, but due to certain circumstances, it will not be discontinued! (Original) 紀州鉄道（非電化）・西御坊駅 日本一短いローカル私鉄の終着駅 JR御坊駅～学門（がくもん）駅～紀伊御坊駅～市役所前駅～西御坊駅まで2.7Kmを8分で走る。 乗客数も少なく「赤字路線」である、しかし「事情があって」廃線とはならない！

(Translated by Google) If you're a train enthusiast and take the Kisei Line to Gobo Station, it's well worth taking the Kishu Railway. The round trip fare for the entire line is 360 yen, it takes about 10 minutes each way, and since the town center is in Nishi-Gobo, it's fun to stroll around the station area. (Original) 乗り鉄で紀勢線に乗って御坊駅まで来たら紀州鉄道に乗って損はない。全線乗って往復で360円だし、片道10分程度だし、街の中心が西御坊の方にあるから、駅界隈を散策しても楽しい。

(Translated by Google) This is a station highly praised by actor Seiji Rokkaku, who is well-known among railway fans. When I visited this station on a certain TV program, "Local feel! Everything is here!" That's what he said. The station is certainly full of local flavor, such as the simple parking lot that marks the terminal station, the small station building that shows its age, the station name sign that is dirty in a good way, the street in front of the station that is not wide at all, and the small railroad crossing. If you like it, you can spend a lot of time just watching it at the station. Also, although this station is the terminal station, there are still remains of the abandoned rail line beyond the station, and it is possible to take a short walk by following this rail line. It's full of active local stations, abandoned railway tracks, an indescribable atmosphere, and nostalgic charm. (Original) 鉄道ファンでもお馴染み俳優六角精児さん絶賛の駅です。 某テレビ番組でこの駅に訪れた際、 「ローカル感満載！すべてが揃っている！」 とのこと。 終着駅を示す簡素な車止め、年季を感じる小さな駅舎、良い意味で薄汚れた駅名標、決して広くはない駅前通りと小さな踏切、等々、なるほど確かにローカル情緒溢れる味わい深い駅です。好きな方なら駅だけでもずっと見ていられるでしょう。 また、この駅は終着駅ですが、かつてあった路線、廃線跡レールが駅の先にまだ残っており、このレールを辿ってちょっとした散策も可能です。現役のローカル駅、さらには廃線跡、何とも言えない情緒、ノスタルジックな魅力満載です。

(Translated by Google) I arrived at Nishigobo Station on the Kishu Railway, Japan's shortest railway line. This retro Showa-era station is exciting to look at, especially the trains. Next time I'd like to go to Gakumon Station too. (Original) 日本一短い鉄道路線紀州鉄道の西御坊駅にやってきました。 昭和レトロな駅、列車にテンションがあがります。 次は学門駅にもいってみたいな

(Translated by Google) Just beyond the station is a location that appeared in a scene from the anime AIR. Unfortunately, the railway tracks over the waterway have been removed. Apart from me, there were several other people there who appeared to be pilgrims. (Original) 駅の先はアニメAIRのワンシーンで登場した場所。 残念ながら水路を跨ぐ線路は撤去されてました。 私以外にも聖地巡礼者と思しき方々が何人かおられました。

(Translated by Google) Although it is now a terminus, the previous terminus during the Gobo Rinkai Railway era was Hidakagawa Station. A portion of the track leading further still remains. According to a young station attendant at Kii-Gobo Station, this is because freight transport was discontinued. It wasn't intended to be the "shortest railway in Japan" 😌. Kishu Railway: Connects the Kasumigaseki section of Gobo City with JR Gobo Station. The Shibayama Railway in Chiba Prefecture has a shorter operating distance, but since it operates like part of the Keisei Line, I personally believe that the Kishu Railway is the "shortest railway" that handles passengers 😊 (Original) 現在は終着駅ですが、御坊臨海鉄道時代の終着駅は一つ先に「日高川」駅が有りました。今もその先に向かう線路が一部残っています。 紀伊御坊駅の若い駅員さんからお聞きしたお話しによると貨物輸送が廃止されたからだそうです。 「日本一短い鉄道」になる為では有りませんでした😌。 紀州鉄道：御坊市の中止部とJR御坊駅を結ぶ。営業距離は千葉県の芝山鉄道の方が短いが京成線の一部の様な形態なので、この紀州鉄道が旅客を扱う「最も短い鉄道」だと個人的に認識しています😊

(Translated by Google) It was written that the west gate would open at 9:45 because of the kindergarten, but it remained closed. I went to the east gate at about 9:50, but it was still closed. The old townscape remains in the surrounding area. (Original) 西側の門は幼稚園の関係で9:45分に開くと書いてあったのですが、閉まったままでした。東側の門も9時50分くらいに行ったのですが、閉まったままでした。 周辺には古い町並みが残っています。

(Translated by Google) It fits in with the old townscape. There are many sights to see, such as buildings and gates. (Original) 古い町並みにあっています。建物や門など見所ありです。

(Translated by Google) I came here because I wanted to stop somewhere when I was riding the Kishu Railway. But it's not open. . . Sunday, before evening, eh? That's what it feels like. (Original) 紀州鉄道に乗った際にどこかに寄ろうと思って訪れたのがここ。しかし、開いていない。。。日曜日、夕方前、えっ？という感じです。

(Translated by Google) The temple, which stands quietly among the rows of houses, has a nursery school on the premises and quietly makes its presence felt. Please note that the nursery school is closed on holidays, so you can only enter on weekdays. There is a large parking lot. (Original) 家が立ち並ぶ中にひっそりとたたずむお寺は、敷地内に保育園を持ち、静かに存在感を示しています。休日は保育園が閉まるせいか平日しか入れないので注意が必要です。広い駐車場があります。

(Translated by Google) Poor quality temple. Pharmacist who graduated from Keio University 61 years ago 👩‍🦳masuda “Is that place dark?” surely I've been to the bazaar. Pharmacist 👩‍🦳: “Hey, there’s a bazaar, which is convenient, but it’s too bad.” (Original) 質の悪い、寺。 慶應義塾大学61年前卒業薬剤師👩‍🦳masuda「あんな場所、あくか」 確かに バザーに行ったことある。 薬剤師👩‍🦳「なあ、バザーあり、便利だけどなあ、アカンわなあ。」

(Translated by Google) It was built in Yoshiwara (present-day Yoshiwara, Mihama Town) in 1540 by Naomitsu Yukawa, the lord of Kameyama Castle. This was called Yoshiwara Bosha. Later, in 1585, Yoshiwara Bosha was burned down by the invasion of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and the Yukawa family fled to Kumano with the principal image, but returned to Hidaka the following year and built a temporary hall called ``Sonobosha'' in Tsubakihara, Sonoura. In 1595, thanks to the efforts of Igamokami Satake, a senior vassal of the Asano family, the lord of Kii Province, he opened up the wilderness of Sonoura and Shimamura, moved Sonobosha and built Hidakabosha. This is the current Hidaka Betsuin. Since then, it has been called "Gobo-san," which is the origin of the name Gobo City. The current main hall was rebuilt in 1825, and in 1877 it received the title of Hidaka Betsuin of Honganji Temple from the main temple and remains there today. Additionally, within the precincts stands a gigantic ginkgo tree that is over 400 years old and has been designated as a natural monument by the prefecture, and there is also a Gobo kindergarten. (Original) 天文9年（1540年）に亀山城主であった湯川直光によって吉原（現美浜町吉原）に建立。これが吉原坊舎と称された。後の天正13年（1585年）に豊臣秀吉の進攻によって吉原坊舎は焼かれ、湯川一族は本尊を持って熊野に逃れるが翌年には日高に戻り薗浦の椿原に仮堂「薗坊舎」を建てた。 文禄4年（1595年）紀伊国主浅野家重臣・佐竹伊賀守の尽力によって薗浦と島村の荒野を開き、薗坊舎を移し日高坊舎を建立した。これが現在の日高別院である。以来「御坊さん」と呼ばれ、御坊市の名の起源となりました。文政8年（1825年）に現在の本堂が再建され、1877年（明治１０年）本山より本願寺日高別院の称号をうけ現在に及んでいる。 また、境内には県の天然記念物に指定された樹齢400年あまりのイチョウの巨木がそびえており、御坊幼稚園も併設されています。

(Translated by Google) It was closed. (Original) 閉まってました。

Grants you 40m free reign across in 2 greenhouses. Only 2 varieties were available…but both were sweet, juicy, superb. Note: a bit pricey at Y2000 (it seems nobody bothers to update the prices on website) but fun for the experience, adults + kids.

The strawberries are the best in the world.

(Translated by Google) We went on a weekday. We made a reservation. It wasn't crowded and we were able to enjoy strawberry picking at our own pace. We picked three kinds of strawberries, and they were big and delicious. I think it's a great deal at 2,000 yen per person. (Original) 平日に行きました。予約して行きました。混み合っておらずゆったりいちご狩りが楽しめました。私たちは3種のいちご狩りでしたがおっきくて美味しかったです。これで1人2000円なのは凄くお得だと思います。

(Translated by Google) I visited during Golden Week. I thought it was the end of the season, but there were still plenty of strawberries. Marihime was delicious. The large, red strawberries were juicy, sweet, and delicious. It was my first time to eat strawberries that were so big and delicious. My wife and children are also very happy. The time limit is 40 minutes. I bought it at the supermarket, but they were selling the same condensed milk at the reception. I'll come back later. Free parking available. You can use various cashless methods. (Original) ゴールデンウィーク中に訪問しました。時期的に終盤かなと思いましたが、まだ沢山イチゴありました。まり姫が美味しかった。大きくて赤いイチゴがジューシーで甘くて美味しかったです。こんなに大きくて美味しいイチゴ食べたの初めてでした。妻子も大喜びです。制限時間は40分間です。スーパーで買って行きましたが、同じ練乳を受付で売ってました。また来ます。無料駐車場あります。各種キャッシュレス使えます。

(Translated by Google) I won a lottery with eo Hikari and went melon picking. It was my first time picking melons, but they guided us carefully to the greenhouse and taught us how to pick the melons and how to tell if they were delicious, so it was fun. We went as a family of four, and each picked one melon and was given one to keep. When we got back to the store, they boxed them up and made it look luxurious. I was happy that they also gave us a sample of 1/8 of each melon. They were very sweet and delicious. (Original) eo光で当選してメロン狩りに行きました。初めてのメロン狩りでしたが、ハウスまでの誘導も丁寧で、メロンを収穫するにあたり獲り方や美味しいメロンの見分け方なども教えてくれて、楽しかったです。家族4人で行き、1玉ずつ収穫してそれを貰えました。お店に戻ってきてから、 箱詰めをして豪華にしてくれました。8分の1ずつの試食付きで嬉しかったです。とても甘くて美味しかったです。

(Translated by Google) I went to the all-you-can-eat melon on Saturday, July 2025 (I made a reservation in advance) I was served chilled melon in an air-conditioned greenhouse 😋 It was my first time to eat so much melon in one day, but it was sweet and delicious. (Original) 2025.7.の土曜日にメロン食べ放題にて利用しました（事前に予約して） 冷房の効いたビニールハウスで冷やしたメロンを頂きました😋 1日でこんなに沢山のメロンを食べたのは初めてでしたが、甘くて大変美味しかったです

(Translated by Google) You can eat all three kinds of strawberries for 1800 yen. However, you will be full after about 10 minutes (lol) It was sweet and delicious!! Even when you are full, you will keep eating. Strawberries are mostly water, so you will get hungry quickly, but they have a diuretic effect... (you can imagine lol) It seems that it will be held until May, so I have a feeling that I will go again... (Original) 3種類のいちごが1800円で食べ放題です。が、開始10分ほどで満腹になります（笑）甘くておいしかったです！！満腹でも食べ続けてしまいます。いちごは水分がほとんどなので、すぐにお腹が空いてきますが、利尿作用があり、、、（察してください笑）5月までやってるようなので、また行きそうな予感、、、

(Translated by Google) The librarians are polite and likable. However, it is not suitable for reading or studying quietly and slowly. The study desk was unnecessarily large for two people, and I felt it was better than not having a partition. The desk shakes every time the person across from me moves. There aren't many seats, so people may sit next to you, but there's no partition to the next person, so it's distracting... The building itself is small and the ceiling is low, so you can hear a lot of noise. Especially in the evening, students' voices are noisy. It may be unavoidable in terms of space, but there are few open shelves. At the very least, why not open up the conference room in the community center next door as a study room for students before and after the test period? (Original) 司書さん達は対応が丁寧で好感が持てます。 ただ、静かにゆっくり本を読んだり学習するのには不向き。 学習用の机は２人用で無駄に大きく、パーテーションも無いよりマシという印象。机は向かいの人が動くたびにガタガタと揺れます。 席数も少ないので隣に人が座る事もありますが、隣へのパーテーションは無いので気が散ります……。 館内自体が狭く天井も低いので、雑音等がとても耳につきます。 特に夕方は学生さん達の話し声がうるさいです。 スペース的にしょうがないのでしょうが、開架も少ないです。 せめて学生さん向けに、テスト期間前後は隣の公民館の会議室などを自習室として開放してはどうでしょう？

(Translated by Google) Libraries with poor functionality, poor budget management, poor book selection and selection, and poor circulation. Board of Education issues are also high. There is also the issue of school lunches, and the reality is that Japan's boards of education generally have poor functioning. It seems that Gobo City is not the only one at fault. In Japan, news about good boards of education and good libraries rarely spread throughout Japan. Schools only use corporal punishment, abuse, bullying, and killing. (Original) 機能のが悪く、予算の回し方悪く、本の種類や品揃えが悪く、循環が悪い図書館。 教育委員会問題も高い。給食問題もあり、日本の教育委員会は全般的に機能が悪いのが現実的。御坊市だけが悪いとは限らないようにあり。 日本で良い教育委員会の話や図書館が良いとニュースが日本中に流れたことがまずあまり、なかった。学校が体罰や虐待、いじめ、殺害、しかない

(Translated by Google) This is the only library in Gobo City. (Original) 御坊市で唯一の図書館です。

(Translated by Google) It closes early (Original) 閉まるのが早いです
