Traveler highlights

Kiyosato Station is in Kiyosato, Takane-cho, Hokuto City, at an elevation of 1,275 meters. It is the second-highest station in the JR Group and the highest railway station in Yamanashi Prefecture. The station opened in 1933 when the Koumi Line was extended to this area, and remains a transport link between Yamanashi’s highland district and small stations along the line. Travel routes also use Kiyosato as a stop for HIGH RAIL 1375, billed as the train closest to the sky, which continues toward Nagano through high-altitude scenery. The station itself is modest and works as a starting or ending point for exploring Kiyosato or riding the sightseeing train. Its elevation and place on the Koumi Line make it part of the highland journey.
