Naijoshi Station in Winter / 冬の撫牛子(ないじょうし)駅

Every Wednesday for work, I go to a station called Naijoshi. It is one stop before Hirosaki. It's a very small station, even smaller than the station closest to our new home - Tsugaru Shinjo. But these small stations have their charm. Especially in the winter.

毎週の水曜日、仕事の為に撫牛子駅まで行く。撫牛子は弘前のひとつ前の駅です。小さな駅です。近所にある津軽新庄駅より小さい。でもこの小ささになんかの魅力を感じる。


I am currently standing on the platform of Naijoshi station waiting for a train to take me back to Aomori City. While I was waiting, a freight train came passing through. Actually, because of the time, I am waiting for a train to take me to Hirosaki and then will return to Aomori. It is the same train; however, the return trip to Aomori does not stop here at Naijoshi.

いま撫牛子駅のホームに立てます。青森に戻る最中。本当は弘前行きの電車を待ってる。青森行きは同じ電車ですが、弘前からの戻り電車は撫牛子に止まりません。


The station may be small, but it does have a little covered area where I can wait when the weather is bad or too cold.

駅は小さいけど、ホームに小さな待合室があります。冬の時期、その中に待つのは快適です。


I caught a nice view of the sunset with Mount Iwaki as well.

駅から良い夕焼けを見ました。岩木山もちゃんと写ってます。

Aomori in the winter. But the locals told me that this year's snowfall was rather mild.

青森の冬。でも青森県民が今年の冬の雪は少ないほうと言ってました。


Sometimes I like to fiddle with other options on my cell phone camera. I call them my artsy shots. This is a picture of Naijoshi Station.

たまには携帯のカメラの面白い機能を使ってこういう写真も撮ったりするの。私のアート系写真です。これは撫牛子駅です。


This is one of my favorite pictures of some apple trees you can see from the station.

これが僕の気に入りの一枚。駅のホームから見える林檎の樹木。
