Kori Station, railway station in Okutama, Nishitama district, Tokyo, Japan
Kori Station is an unmanned stop on the Ome Line, located in Okutama in the western part of the greater Tokyo area. The station is above ground, with open platforms and automated ticket machines but no staff on site.
The station opened as part of the gradual extension of the Ome Line, which was built to connect the villages of western Tokyo. The line was extended in stages over several decades until it reached the more remote areas around Okutama.
Okutama is a popular destination for people from Tokyo who want to spend a day outdoors, and this station is a common starting point for those trips. On weekends, the platform fills with walkers and hikers heading into the surrounding hills and river valleys.
The station is accessible by ramp for wheelchair users, making it easier to reach the platforms without stairs. Since there is no staff on site, it is a good idea to sort out your ticket before arriving or use the machines on the platform.
Although the station is officially classified as an exchange station, there is no active passenger transfer operation here today. This technical designation dates from an earlier phase of how the line was managed and is now mainly visible only in official records.
