Kyū-Shirataki Station, closed railway station in Hokkaido, Japan
Kyū-Shirataki Station is a decommissioned railway station in Engaru, Hokkaido. The station building still stands and displays the straightforward architecture typical of mid-20th century Japanese railway stations.
This station was built when Hokkaido's railway network expanded to serve remote communities in the mid-20th century. Service ended when improved transportation links made this rural route unnecessary.
The location is quite remote and accessible mainly by walking trails or car. Visitors should expect minimal facilities in this sparsely populated area.
