...and it was pretty! 
The spot surrounding the station has a nostalgic feel.
Most, if not all, the buildings' architechtural design seems to be inspired by Europe's old-times.
The town is very peaceful, cozy, beautiful, and liveable.
I can see myself living in this type of town.
I heared that Kiyosato was once (and maybe still is) very popular to young Japanese girls.
When I saw the place, I immediately understood why.
