Nishi-Oyama Station

KAGOSHIMA

Nishi-Oyama Station, which is known as the southernmost station in Japan operated by JR, boasts a breathtaking view of Kaimon-dake volcano to the front. The post box standing in front of the station is painted yellow similar to the canola flower that stands as symbol of Ibusuki. This post box has seen an explosion in popularity because some believe it brings happiness to those who send mail from it. "Certificates of Arrival at the Station" and picture postcards are available for sale at Kaimon Ichiba Kyutaro, located right in front of the station, so why not send a letter to a loved one through the "post box of happiness?"
