見津信號所, Railway signal station in Kobe, Japan.
Mitsu Signal Station is a railway facility in Kobe that manages train traffic and signal control along the Ao Line. The station includes three storage tracks and a wheel lathe for maintaining trains that pass through the area.
The station was opened on November 16, 1979, and underwent significant expansions from 1983 to 1988. The Mitsu Bridge was constructed during this expansion period as part of the facility's infrastructure development.
The signal station hosts an annual Train Festival each October, where railway enthusiasts gather to photograph and observe train operations.
The facility is accessible from the Ao Line and serves as a key coordination point for railway operations in the region. Visitors should note that this is primarily an active working facility rather than a public attraction.
Solar panels have been installed on the site where a vehicle factory was once planned. This conversion reflects how the facility has adapted its infrastructure to meet modern energy standards.
