Gujo-Hachiman Station
Nagaragawa Railway Gujo-Hachiman Station (長良川鉄道郡上八幡駅), in Hachimancho Jonancho, Gujo City, Gifu Prefecture, has four structures, the station building and up platform and the down platform and waiting shelter of 1929, the footbridge of 1944, and the storehouse and lever hut, that were registered as Registered Tangible Cultural Properties on August 4, 2015 (Agency for Cultural Affairs). They are owned by Nagaragawa Railway Co., Ltd.
The Four Structures
The station building is a gabled timber station with a gabled porch, its front and gable ends in washed artificial stone, beside a 98-metre cobble-faced up platform. The curving down platform opposite has a canopy on umbrella frames of old rail and a waiting shelter glazed on three sides. The footbridge is a timber Howe truss built to save steel, and four iron signal levers remain in the lever hut. The Agency calls it the core station of the former Etsumi-Nan Line, which supported the modernisation of Gujo-Hachiman (Agency for Cultural Affairs). Each is described on its own page.
