Shimizusawa Station west ryde tiles gone grimy and paintShimizusawa Station sits on the main road through Shimizusawa, its platform empty and windows boarded, tracks overgrown where the Yubari branch line once ran. The station was one of six stops on the 16. 1 km branch connecting Shin Yubari to Yubari, serving a coal town that once held over 100,000 residents. Part of the Streetscapes of Yubari series.
