Jirōmaru Station
In *Natsume's Book of Friends*, Takashi Natsume and his cat companion Madara (Nyanko-sensei) often arrive at or depart from a quiet rural station. The platform is wooden, with a single track, surrounded by lush greenery and fields. At dusk, the setting sun casts long shadows through the station's eaves. Sometimes Natsume sits alone on the bench waiting for the train, or meets his friends Tōru, Satoru, and others there. The station sign and the old waiting room evoke a nostalgic atmosphere.

- 该站现实原型为熊本县人吉市的“次郎丸站”，是球磨川铁道汤前线的无人站，建于1936年。
- 在动画中，该场景通常作为夏目与妖怪或友人互动的背景，体现了作品温情而略带寂寥的氛围。
