Kata Station - Home to the Soul of Japan's Local Railway

Kata Station is a small unmanned station on the Kansai Main Line in Kameyama City, Mie Prefecture. However, its history and charm captivate the hearts of people. The renovated wooden station building exudes a retro atmosphere, evoking remnants of the past when locomotives used to run.

The Warm Charm of the Station Building

The station building of Kata Station is a classical wooden structure that blends into the surrounding scenery. While it is common for earthquake-resistant concrete structures to replace such wooden buildings, here, a renewal that cherishes the atmosphere was carried out. The comforting scent of wood fills the air, where time flows leisurely.
