Here is a proposed structure for a tourism article about Kasugai Station.
Kasugai Station, the gateway to Kasugai City in Aichi Prefecture, was renovated in 2015. The newly reborn spacious station interior has high ceilings and large windows that create an open atmosphere. What is most impressive is the abundance of cactus sculptures placed throughout the station. Since Kasugai City is a town known for cactus production, the station is adorned with artwork featuring this plant.
One of the major features of Kasugai Station is its thorough implementation of universal design. Not only within the station, but also in the north-south free passageway, there are escalators and elevators, allowing comfortable use for the elderly and those with disabilities. Escalators that can be used in both directions are rare, and it is a welcome point to have this consideration, as it is common to compromise by having escalators for upward travel only to save costs.
Exiting the station, there is a bustling shopping street with restaurants, supermarkets, and drugstores. Among them, there is also a local depo event where local restaurants and goods stores set up every Thursday evening. You might encounter rare foods and goods. There is a bakery in a corner of the station building, recommended for breakfast or souvenirs.
Kasugai Station is highly convenient, with a unique cactus theme. Whether for commuting to or studying in Nagoya, or as a place to take a break, why not stop by and visit?
