Tama the cat stationmaster

We read about Tama and would like to visit her at her station in Kishi station.
There are any other worthy attractions, places to visit along the Kishigawa Line.
Thank you!

but it is in Japanese though...

Yes, it is quite useful and serve my purpose.
Thank you so much!

This is really great! This cute cat not only saved the station and the line, but has also put Kinokawa on the map; if you do a search for 'Kinokawa' on Yahoo or Google, you'll only find Tama the cat (and some porn)! Maybe she can also become the mayor of Kinokawa! What does Tama mean?

not sure if it means it in this case, but Tama can mean ''ball'' or ''sphere''

Tama
... in addition to "ball," "sphere (of precious stone)," it also means "precious gems," "precious," and also has the connotation of "round and cute," thus Tama is a common name for pet cats :)

I think even BBC wrote an article about this Tama the stationmaster cat :)

I am also thinking of visiting the stationmaster cat from Osaka, is there an english sight that lists some sights to visit in the area, or does anyone have any ideas? What about Wakayama, is there anything interesting there?

To visit Tama the stationmaster cat, you have to go to Wakayama City and take another private rail line.

Wakayama has a small castle up the hill. More beautiful is the Kimii-dera temple. Between late March and early April, it's a very popular site for viewing cherry blossom. The Kuroshio Market in Marina City has fresh seafood which you can buy and eat on BBQ pits by the seaside terrace. Nextdoor to the market is Porto Europa, an European theme park.

If you have more time in Wakayama City, go further south to the onsen resort town of Shirahama which has even more to offer. Wakayama City is also a good base for Koya-san.

I'm interested to take this Kishigawa line as well,but the company's website is all in japanese..wonder anyone can help me on these:
-from the first station to the last station (kishi station),how long will the journey take? when will the last train departs from kishi station to go back to the first station?
- is there a certain timing whereby the strawberry theme and Toy theme train will arrive at each station?
- there are 14 stations for this line, which station should I alight to explore the place?

thanks!!!

You can look up train times at this site:

First go to JR Wakayama station from Osaka, by rapid train.

Transfer to Wakayama Dentetsu Kishigawa line, at Wakayama.
The first train for Kishi departs at 5:55 A.M., and trains depart two or three times an hour. Please note, some trains don't go to Kishi.
The last train for Wakayama from Kishi departs at 10:54 P.M.

By the way, the Hyperdia may not be useful in Kansai area because it mainly show JR.

I'll be visiting the Kishi station and take the tama train from wakayama next week. apart from the Tama stationmaster, would that be anything around in Kishi I could explore?

I am planning to visit japan this december. Does anybody knows whether is Tama chan on duty in winter (can we get to see her in winter)? How do we get to take the strawberry/ tama chan themed trains? Thanks!
