Doai Station, Yubiso, Minakami, Gunma, Japan by Japan Forward
“In Gunma Prefecture a few hours north of Tokyo lies Doai Station, the deepest train station in Japan. With its platform located 70 meters underground from the entrance. One of the platforms is above ground in a very unassuming area just behind the main entrance. The other platform lies inside the Shimizu Tunnel that connects Niigata Prefecture to Gunma Prefecture. In order to get to the Shimizu Tunnel, though, you will have to go down a total of 486 steps to reach the train platform.”
Probably the most eerie train station in Japan that I ever know about, thanks to the slice of life anime, Yama No Susume aka Encouragement of Climb, where a group of young mountaineers beginners embark on their next adventure to Mount Tanigawa where they alight at this mysterious train station to walk from.
