Suspension of the JR Hohi Main Line, connecting Kumamoto and Oita, means traffic is cut off from the airport to Minami Aso, which means that about half of the Minami Aso Railway, commonly called Nantetsu, also remains closed. Normally it runs between Tateno Station, serving as the gateway to Minami Aso Village and Takamori Station. Efforts are under way toward complete restoration in fiscal year 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nantetsu is known for operating the popular trolley train Yusuge. The Yusuge train line is infamous for having the longest station name in Japan: The Minamiaso Mizu no Umareru Sato Hakusui Kogen Station. The name is so long that people usually shorten it to Hakusui Kogen Station. The Yusuge line is charmming in that many of the stations have been re-purposed to not only accept passengers but also to offer special services. One, for example, offers a hot spring bath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Choyo Station, serving a community that suffered severe damage, is home to Hisanagaya, whose proprietor, So Hisanaga, is keeping his fingers crossed for a quick recovery and railway restoration. On weekends and holidays, he serves chiffon cake\u2014made from his mother\u2019s recipe\u2014muffins, and freshly ground coffee in the tasteful wooden station building built in 1927. It\u2019s easy to see how So\u2019s friendly personality would attract a crowd. Some customers come to simply sit on the platform and gaze at the rural landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns cols-image is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/minamiaso184-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32477\" srcset=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/minamiaso184-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/minamiaso184-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/minamiaso184-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/minamiaso184.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/minamiaso174-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32479\" srcset=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/minamiaso174-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/minamiaso174-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/minamiaso174-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/minamiaso174.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"last\">On weekends, Hakusui Kogen Station becomes Octopus Books. Emi Nakao says her first visit to the disserted station\u2019s octagonal wooden building reminded her of an after-hours school library lit by the setting sun. The Village Hall approved of her idea to reimagine the space as a used-book market that would attract both locals and visitors. She and her husband Tomoharu, who was raised in Minami Aso, provide tourist information and manage the station while taking part in book fairs throughout Japan. The readers who gather in their store to visit and explore their books give them the energy to carry on with their journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns cols-image no-bm is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/minamiaso148-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32503\" srcset=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/minamiaso148-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/minamiaso148-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/minamiaso148-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/minamiaso148.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/minamiaso151-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32505\" srcset=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/minamiaso151-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/minamiaso151-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/minamiaso151-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/minamiaso151.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/minamiaso226-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32483\" srcset=\"https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/minamiaso226-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/minamiaso226-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/minamiaso226-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/minamiaso226-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/papersky.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/minamiaso226.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\uff0a\u201dPapersky Tour de Nippon in Aso\u201d which was scheduled to be held on September 26(sat) and 27(sun) has been cancelled due to the spread of COVID-19.
