comment
Hamaderakoen St. is a small station, but there used to be a bathing beach nearby and it was very crowded with tourists. At Hamadera Park, which used to be a sandy beach at that time, you can see a beautiful pine forest and feel the atmosphere of the past. The old station building can be seen from the front, which gives it a beautiful retro look. The interior is filled with the elegant atmosphere of the first-class waiting room, with chandeliers and wall-mounted fireplaces, and you can feel the elegance of the past as if you have slipped back in time.

In 1906, development of the area as a resort town progressed with the construction of a beach and the building of upper-class villas, and the station building served as its gateway. It features a left-right symmetrical plane configuration and a stylish design with highlights such as dormer windows on the roof and pillars shaped like sake bottles at the entrance.
