Sawara Station, Railway station in Katori, Japan
Sawara Station is a railway station in Katori with multiple platforms connected by an overhead footbridge to serve trains on different tracks. The facility features an elevated station building and several boarding areas for passengers.
The station opened in 1898 as a terminal for both freight and passenger services under the Narita Railway Company. In the early 2000s the building underwent extensive reconstruction to add modern systems.
The station sits near the old merchant quarter of Sawara, where traditional wooden buildings from centuries past line the waterways and streets.
The station connects the Narita Line with trains heading toward the Kashima Line, making it a transfer point for travelers heading in different directions. The overhead bridge helps visitors navigate between platforms with ease.
The station building was completely rebuilt between 2007 and 2011, adding new facilities while keeping its role in local transport. This major renovation transformed it into a more functional space for the region's travelers.
