Sakudaira Station, Elevated railway station in Saku, Japan
Sakudaira Station is an elevated railway facility in Saku with two side platforms serving the Hokuriku Shinkansen and one elevated platform for the Koumi Line. The station sits at 701 meters in elevation and spans multiple tracks across its layout.
The station began operations on October 1, 1997, as the Nagano Shinkansen line was inaugurated. This opening created a new transportation connection in Nagano Prefecture.
The station features the Bell of Happiness at its Tateshina entrance, serving as a gathering point for local residents and travelers passing through. This element reflects the station's role as a meeting place in the Eastern Shinshu region.
The station is approximately 164 kilometers from Tokyo Station and serves around 2,937 passengers daily. Regular Hokuriku Shinkansen connections provide convenient access to major cities from this location.
The Koumi Line tracks run at an unusual diagonal angle above the Shinkansen platforms, creating a distinctive multi-level layout. This architectural arrangement sets the station apart from typical railway facilities.
