Kuzuryūko Station, Railway station in Ono, Fukui Prefecture, Japan.
Kuzuryūko Station is a small railway station in Ono with a distinctive log cabin design. The building has a single platform where trains on the regional line stop and travel in both directions.
The station began operations in December 1972 and became part of the rail network following the privatization of Japan's national railways. Between 2004 and 2007, severe weather damage led to a temporary closure.
The station's name draws from a local legend connected to a mythical lake in the region. This tie to regional folklore remains present in how locals refer to the place.
The station is unmanned and serves only a handful of passengers daily on this route. It's best to check train times beforehand and note that the small building sits near National Route 158 for reference.
The log cabin design of the station is unusual for Japanese rail stops and gives it a distinct appearance. This architectural choice provides a rustic character that sets it apart from typical modern station buildings.
