Kai-Oizumi Station

Traveler highlights

Kai-Oizumi Station is a highland stop on the JR Koumi Line in Hokuto City, at an elevation of 1,158 meters. It is the third-highest station in the JR Group. Opened in 1933 with the line’s extension, the station is surrounded by rural homes, public facilities, guesthouses and vacation rentals, with mountain recreation growing in the area. A short distance in front of the station is Kai-Oizumi Onsen’s Panorama no Yu, whose outdoor bath has views of Mount Fuji. There is no dense hot-spring town here; outings unfold between the station, the onsen and nearby hills. On the Koumi Line, pair the high-altitude station with a relaxing bath.
