Kannoura Station, railway station in Toyo, Aki district, Kochi prefecture, Japan
Kannoura Station is a staffed railway terminal in Toyo, Japan, sitting at the end of a rail line on an elevated structure. Trains arrive and depart from a raised platform, making it the final stop for passengers traveling the line.
Kannoura Station opened as the terminal stop of a rail line serving the Toyo area, and it has kept that role ever since. Being at the end of the line has defined the character of the station from the start.
The station sits on an elevated platform, so expect stairs or ramps when arriving or leaving. Since it is a terminal, passengers have a moment to get off comfortably, but checking departure times in advance is a good idea.
Kannoura Station is classified as both an active station and a former station, meaning its role or status changed at some point without the stop ever being closed. This double classification makes it a somewhat rare case in the rail network.
