Doai Station on the JR Joetsu Line is often used as the gateway to Mt. Tanigawa for those who enjoy mountaineering.
At this station, the platform of the down line (toward Echigo Yuzawa) is located 70m underground (the platform of the up line is the ground platform), and it is necessary to go down the 462 steps (338m in length) from the station building to the platform of the down line. It takes about 10 minutes after entering the ticket gate.
It is also called a mole station because of its characteristic structure, but I think many people are genuinely interested in the structure of the building.After all, when you arrive on the down line, there are 462 upstairs waiting for you to the ticket gate, and I often think that it is more difficult than Mt. Tanigawa in a sense.I use this staircase only downhill.Even if you don't go down to the platform, it's powerful enough to give you the illusion of being sucked in just by looking at it from above.
For a while, the manners of some climbers became a problem and the waiting room was closed, so there was a tendency to feel lonely as a climber, but this time, JR East and others have taken the lead in making new movements. I can expect what I have done.
There were some parts that could not be understood from the article alone as to how the actual plan and future operation would proceed, but the underground platform, the dim stairs leading to it, and the tasteful appearance of the station building are unique and valuable. I just want you to leave it as it is as a structure.
