I rarely used Keihan Line till recently when my work was temporary transferred somewhere in Kadoma. I met a girl who told me that it is a station with a big tree in the middle. I automatically got curious and tried to pry more information from her but unfortunately, she did not know anything and only noticed the tree when she passed by the station that day. It was already dark, cold and drizzling when I arrived at the station and with 3 bottles of heavy Nihonshu and 8 kilometers of walking to do, I decided to postponed my exploration some other time but when I turned in the corner I found it. Seems like it wanted to be found. Maybe it heard me :) I found it’s story : After all these years, the tree is still strong and sturdy and not giving in to the concrete that is surrounding it. If this tree could talk what stories could it tell.
