Wakayama Electric Railway Kishigawa Line
This 14.3 km long local line connects Wakayama Station and Kishi Station. Originally operated by a major operator, the line was reported to be closed due to long-standing losses. However, thanks to enthusiastic efforts by residents along the line, the local government publicly recruited a successor operator to ensure the continuation of the line, and in 2006 the line was reopened as Wakayama Electric Railway.
I was planning to visit the day after tomorrow, but I just found out that the second-generation stationmaster has just passed away.~~
