Nebukawa Station
根府川駅Kanagawa · Kanto
根府川駅 stands on a bluff above Sagami Bay, its pale wooden station building close to a century old, so that stepping off the platform puts the horizon of sea and sky directly ahead with nothing else in the frame. The 24.5 m Shiraito River rail bridge crosses just beside the station, and on New Year's Day the platform faces straight into the sunrise. A coastal walking route, the 'Shiosai no Eki Nebukawa/Enoura Fishing Port Course,' starts here and takes about two hours.

On the JR Tokaido Main Line, two stops past Odawara toward Atami — about 90 minutes from Tokyo by local train. The station sits on a cliff above the sea, with mountains behind it toward Atami and Sagami Bay directly in front.
