Misashima Station

Misashima Station (美佐島駅, Misashima-eki) is a railway station located in the city of Tōkamachi, Niigata, Japan, operated by the third sector Hokuetsu Express.

The platform level is closed unless a local train is scheduled to arrive because of the strong winds generated by high pressure difference between the tunnel and the ground level.

The two automatic doors never open at the same time, again, to avoid creating strong winds caused by pressure gradient.

There is an underground waiting room between the two doors with wooden bench, timetable, and a suggestion box.

Above ground, the waiting room features tatami and is air-conditioned.
