Roadside Station Amarube is located in Kami Town, facing the Sea of ​​Japan, and is attractive for its excellent location right next to the old Amarube Railway Bridge.

The direct sales store mainly sells seafood products and dried fish caught in the Sea of ​​Japan, but does not sell fresh fish.

The restaurant mainly serves boiled fish set meals and tempura set meals, as well as tonkatsu, curry, soba, and udon, but does not offer a wide selection of seafood bowls.

The greatest attraction of the roadside station is its access to the adjacent Amarube Railway Bridge "Sky Station." From the roadside station, take the elevator "Amarube Crystal Tower" to a height of about 40 meters and arrive at the "Sky Station" observation facility, which uses part of the pier of the old Amarube Railway Bridge. From there, you can enjoy a spectacular view of the Sea of ​​Japan and see the trains running on the active Amarube Bridge up close, which is very impressive.

There is also an exhibition space in the roadside station where you can learn about the history of the Amarube Iron Bridge and what it was like when it was built, and you can reminisce about the majestic appearance of the bridge in the past. It is recommended not only for railway fans, but also for those interested in history and spectacular scenery.

[Trivia]
The Amarube Iron Bridge is a steel trestle bridge that once spanned the San'in Main Line, which was abandoned in 2010. It was one of the largest iron bridges in Japan, built during the Meiji period. It was replaced with the current concrete bridge due to deterioration, but some of the piers were preserved and reborn as an observation facility called "Sky Station."
