Nishi-Oyama Station
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 turnip rape 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.
