Ashino-Kōen Station

Ashino-Kōen Station (芦野公園駅, Ashino Kōen-eki) is a railway station in the city of Goshogawara, Aomori, Japan, operated by the private railway operator Tsugaru Railway Company.

The station has a single ground-level side platform serving a bidirectional track.

The original station building, a one-story wooden structure with a copper roof and pentagonal gable which appeared in Osamu Dazai's novel "Tsugaru", was preserved and used as a coffee shop by the NPO "Kanagi Genki Club" and as the "Tsugaru Railway Old Ashinokoen Station Bookstore".

It received protection as a Registered Tangible Cultural Property in 2014.

It is the last remaining building on the Tsugaru Railway from the time of its opening[1] Media related to Ashino-Koen Station at Wikimedia Commons
