comment
The old West Station building of Suwanomori St., which is registered as a cultural asset, was not demolished or reconstructed, but was preserved in its current location using the construction method in which the buildings are moved from their original locations. The building is now used as a community space where cafes and cultural classes are held, so please take a look around.

Description
Suwanomori Station opened in 1907, and was rebuilt in 1919 due to relocation of the station. The station’s west building is small but boasts a distinctive design with stone exterior walls and arched windows. One distinguishing feature of this building is a set of five stained-glass windows depicting Awaji Island in the distance beyond the sea, with green pine trees and white sand beaches in the foreground. In 1998, along with the neighboring Hamaderakoen Station building, it became the first property of a major private railway company to be registered as a National Tangible Cultural Property. It is currently not in use as a station building, but it is still popular as a space for community exchange such as cafes, galleries, and culture classes. (The east station building was built in 1966 when the platform for the outbound line was moved to the north side of the railroad crossing in order to widen the platform.)
