Jina sta. is a small station in country town along the Oigawa-river.

Located in Kawane-Honcho and famous for the shortest tunnel in Japan(about 7m) .

Kawane's one of the main products is tea, so you can see a tea garden in everywhere in this country town.

Kawane Youth Hostei also stands in the middle of a tea garden!

Day-1 Tokyo Central Youth Hostel


I have a plan in this Golden Week, riding a steam locomotive from Shin-Kanaya to Senzu(Oigawa Railway Main Line) and an abt system train from Senzu to Ikawa(Oigawa Railway South Alps Abt Line).
Oigawa Railway is in Shizuoka, my plan is taking Tokaido line at Tokyo and going to Atami, changing train and going to Shizuoka, changing train again and then arriving in Kanaya. I estimate it will take about 5 hours.
I decided to stay at Tokyo Central Youth Hostel before I start traveling since I should leave Tokyo sta. at 6:53. If there is nothing trouble, I will arrive at Shin-Kanaya sta. at 11:26.
Steam Locomotive which I booked will depart for Senzu. at 11:45.
This is a really unique opportunity, riding a classic steam locomotive, so I should not be late!
