Old Taisha Station - The JR Taisha Line was a branch line of JR West that connected Izumoshi Station on the Sanin Line with Izumo Taisha in Izumo. This tiny branch was only seven kilometers long with only three stations, and so it was closed in 1990 due to competition from a private railway that goes closer to Izumo Taisha Shine. Izumo Taisha Station opened in 1924 and doesn’t incorporate any western architectural features - unlike other stations built at that time. Izumo Taisha Station is registered as an Important Cultural Property and only serves as a museum and tourism office for the town.
