The Former Meitetsu Minomachi Line Mino Station Platforms and Tracks (旧名鉄美濃町線美濃駅プラットホーム及び線路) is the platforms and tracks of a tramway terminus of 1923 in Mino City, Gifu Prefecture, and was registered as a Registered Tangible Cultural Property (structure) on February 9, 2005 (Agency for Cultural Affairs).
The Agency records concrete platforms with steel canopies and tracks on an earth bed with rails, with a total area of 405 square metres; registration number 21-0055.
Two Platforms in a U-Shape
The platforms and tracks of the former Mino Station are two platforms, 0.7 metres high and 3.8 metres wide, joined in a U-shape to the south side of the station building, with two tracks still in place between them (Agency for Cultural Affairs).
The platform walls are faced with cobbles and the canopies are built of angle steel (Agency for Cultural Affairs). The Agency values how, with the station building, they keep the look of a modern light-railway terminus.
