(土合駅) Doai Station


Japan's deepest station, Doai Station is the entry way to Japan's Death Mountain. Sounds fitting, huh?

If you google it, there are a couple of blogs saying that it is spooky, but honestly I don't think so. Just a regular train station. Haha. 

Budget: JPY2,410 (~USD22)
Visit Date
  • August 1, 2021
  • I visited this station when I did my Tanigawa hike
When to Go
Throughout the year. 

Special Notes
  • 486 steps! That's for the platform coming from Tokyo. 
  • This is an unmanned station. I came from Minakami Station and the conductor walked across the train cars so people using IC cards can tap theirs. 
Itinerary
  • Very few trains passing through here (six or so a day), so make sure you time it correctly. Otherwise, your itinerary will depend on how much time you want to spend taking pictures. On my end, I literally just passed through it on my wait to my hike. 
Exiting the station. Plenty of people taking pictures of the station. 

Whoa. That's a LOT of stairs. 

Better get started then. 

Whoa, done!

That's the exit, right? 

Oopsie. Not done. This time, really done!

Outside the station. 

Looking back. Sorry I forgot to take a picture of the entire thing.
