Kishi Station

Look at Kishi Station’s exterior

Check the return train first. Kishi is the terminus of Wakayama Electric Railway’s Kishigawa Line. From a safe spot, look at the roof and entrance together. Do not build the day around meeting a cat stationmaster; check attendance notices. Trains may change for inspections, so the photographed train is not promised. Keep passenger paths clear and never enter tracks or prohibited areas.

All photographs show Kishi Station at the time of photography, not Hiraike. Cat attendance, train assignment, flowers and events are not guaranteed. Follow station and road rules, and omit the park detour if tired.

Tama Cafe

Rest at Tama Cafe

Tama Cafe is inside the station. The operator lists 10:00–16:00, generally open year-round with irregular maintenance closures; bad weather or disrupted trains may also cause closure. Choose the current menu without expecting a particular item or seat. If closed, walk first or eat elsewhere. Ticket purchases have different payment conditions from cafe products.

A waterside walk at Hiraike Park
