Not OC. I think this is the original source of the image.

    Where is this? It looks like a scene from a Miyazaki movie!

      My instance and my routers are both having meltdowns at the moment so hard time finding the source. I’ve been trying to since I posted it.

      I know that it is in Japan and is at something called a hikyo station which are little used stations. The direct translation is ‘secluded station’ because of their isolation and infrequent use. Which station? That’s what I’m having a hard time locating. I believe it’s Honchoshi Station.

        The picture is titled To Honchoshi Station, and includes Hikyo Station in the tags, so it seems to me that it’s probably taken at Hikyo Station

          I just mentioned that. Hikyo station isn’t one singular station, it’s the term for stations that are not used often due to being isolated or remote. Wiki page.

            I think it’s the Choshi Electric Railway in Choshi Chiba https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g1021144-d1774621-Reviews-Choshi_Dentetsu-Choshi_Chiba_Prefecture_Kanto.html

            And I think with Honchoshi they mean Motochoshi station just look at the photos on Google maps https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/p/AF1QipOLzib1gg0IWGXc1Mv6hTxsSWeWxTsm5t5Sik1g=w512-h770-p-k-no

            https://maps.app.goo.gl/QmumKJwqbnWqwocz7?g_st=ic

            Motochoshi Station is written like this 本銚子駅 and 本 can also be pronounced as Hon which means book.
