宇佐駅

Located along Oita Prefecture’s JR Nippo Main Line, this station serves as the transit point for Usa Jingu, the head shrine of all Hachiman shrines in Japan. Beyond the novelty of its American-flag nameplates and hilltop lettering playing on its Romanized spelling, the venue remains a quiet rural train stop. A couple of local eateries sit nearby, though transit operates on infrequent weekend schedules for both buses and trains. Station staff and helpful locals often assist travelers navigating onward to regional spots like Tashibu Nakamura.
