The Hitachinaka Kaiun Railway Shrine is a unique and charming spot located within Ajigaura Station. This unusual shrine features decommissioned train cars, including the Kiha 222, as its sacred objects, with a torii gate made from railway tracks. It's a must-see for railway enthusiasts and those looking for a quirky travel experience. While the train cars are typically viewed from the outside, special events sometimes allow interior access. The shrine is easily accessible by train to Ajigaura Station, the last stop on the Hitachinaka Seaside Railway.
