The Mitsubishi Minami-Oyubari station is one of the remaining examples of the Mitsubishi mining empire in the Sorachi region and Yubari's industrial past.
When we arrived in Sapporo, I had no idea what we would try and do apart from hiring a car and drive from Sapporo to Yubari and back for four days.
Yubari was a very different part of Japan to what I'd ever seen before. Far from the bright neon lights and blaring pachinko parlours.
