Nunohara Station (布原駅, Nunohara-eki) is a JR West Hakubi Line and Geibi Line station located on the west side of Niimi, Okayama Prefecture, Japan. Three D51 steam locomotives were used on the Hakubi Line to haul freight until 1972 (at the time of the Nunohara signal box), and the place is famous with train aficionados for taking pictures of them. Now it is famous for its fall colors, and many people visit the area to take pictures of the changing seasons. Nunohara Station is one of the "hikyō stations," or a station considered secluded or less known.
