Former Mino Station
The Former Meitetsu Minomachi Line Mino Station (旧名鉄美濃町線美濃駅) in Mino City, Gifu Prefecture, is a tramway terminus of 1923 whose station building and its platforms and tracks were registered as Registered Tangible Cultural Properties on February 9, 2005 (Agency for Cultural Affairs). They are owned by Mino City.
The Two Structures
The station building, built as Shin-Minomachi Station of the Mino Electric Tramway, is a gabled clapboard terminus whose east gable at the front shows decorative timber framing. Two platforms with cobble-faced walls and angle-steel canopies join its south side in a U-shape, with two tracks still between them. The line closed in 1999, but the Agency notes that the site keeps the look of a modern light-railway terminus (Agency for Cultural Affairs). Each is described on its own page.
