Get in
Ibara Railway named after the city unsurprisingly serves the city. Ibara Station is the main station of the city, but there are also three other stations within the city: So-Unnosato-Ebara, Izue, and KomoriutanosatoTakaya Stations. The line connects to the JR Hakubi Line at Soja Station in Soja and Kiyone Station in Kurashiki. Hakubi Station is the nearest station for those traveling from Okayama. On the opposite side of the railway if you're coming from Hiroshima, you can transfer at Fukuyama Station (Fukuyama) to the Fukuen Line to reach Kannabe Station where you can then access Ibara Railway.
