Departing from a Small Station in Gunma

Shinozuka Station is a small unmanned station on the Tobu Koizumi Line in Ora-machi, Ora District, Gunma Prefecture. It stands in a peaceful rural area far from the nearest town, and this serene presence is the charm of this station.

A Rural Station with the Scent of the Times

The station building is a recently rebuilt concrete structure, but the arrangement of small waiting rooms on one side of the platform retains the old-fashioned atmosphere. There was a time when station staff warmly welcomed passengers.

Tranquility due to the small number of passengers

Despite the lowest number of passengers along the line, the existence of this station is indispensable for the local residents. The lonely appearance when business travelers from the city get off the train evokes a sense of travel away from everyday life.

A New Transportation Hub

Recently, a bus stop for local buses has been set up in front of the station, and the small station is evolving into a new transportation hub. Along with the quiet flow of time, I look forward to seeing the new face of this station.

Even a small station has its own charm and story. Why not leave your footsteps at this small station and see if it is worth a visit?
