Hitachi Station: Japan’s Breathtaking Sunrise with a Panoramic View of the Pacific Ocean

 

2025년이 되어서 일출을 보려고 다녀왔다.

새벽 3, 4시에 일어나서 미리 생각해둔 히타치역이라는 곳으로 다녀왔다.

새벽에 사람이 너무 많아서 놀랐지만, 그래도시간이 지나니 조금 사람이 빠져서 잘 구경할 수 있었다. 하지만 새벽이라 그런지 기온도 낮았고, 오랜만에 봤던 태평양의 새벽바람은 어마어마했다.

엄청나게 살을 베는 듯한 칼바람이 있었다.

Hitachi Station, located on the Joban Line of JR East and facing the Pacific Ocean, serves as the central station of Hitachi City. The current station building, completed in 2011, boasts an impressive all-glass design, crafted under the guidance of renowned Hitachi-born architect Kazuyo Sejima, a winner of the Pritzker Architecture Prize, often referred to as the “Nobel Prize in Architecture.” The building earned the Good Design Award in 2012 and the Brunel Award for Excellence in 2014, a prestigious international design competition for railroads.

At the eastern end of the walkway, the observation hall offers a stunning view of the Pacific Ocean. The unobstructed horizon provides an exceptional vista that changes throughout the day, from the morning sunrise to the midday blue expanse. A popular café, extending from the walkway deck, opens at 7:00 a.m. Additionally, since 2019, the “Eki Piano” has been installed, inviting visitors to play and enjoy the music.
