Photographer Yukari (@mitsuyuka_lp) is known for her stellar photography showing off natural beauty around the many prefectures of Japan. In particular, however, she has a talent for taking shots during her travels that will have you convinced the gorgeous anime worlds of Makoto Shinkai and Studio Ghibli films have come to life.
Yukari has once again captured a magical shot that looks straight out of an anime, this time by visiting the nostalgic and the abandoned small wooden train station of Amase in Okayama prefecture. As you can see, it's simple structure is not the only thing that stands out about the station:

"I've met a spring that seems like an anime movie."
Just as Yukari says, the photos really do look like that of a cherry blossom surrounded lone station you'd see in maybe the opening of an anime. Of course, with most anime being set in Japan, those kind of comparisons sometimes seems obvious, but the gorgeous colors and staging have a certain quality to them that has many on Twitter comparing it to their favorite anime.
Amase Station stopped functioning as a train station when the Katakami Railway line stopped as well. Today, the station is preserved as a roadside rest area, and has become a popular photography topic as every spring it benefits from a sea of blooming sakura and woodland hill background.
