Tagawa-Ita Station

Traveler highlights

Tagawa-Ita Station is an interchange for the JR Hitahikosan Line and the Heisei Chikuhō Railway’s Ita and Tagawa lines, and an important transport hub for Tagawa City. The three-story station building has a simple hotel, bakery and dining space, with buses and taxis outside. Beside the station, Sakubei Tunnel—named for miner and artist Sakubei Yamamoto—connects the plaza with Coal Memorial Park and the Tagawa City Coal and History Museum. From this transport node, visitors can step directly into the memory of the Chikuho coal-mining region. It is more than a transfer point: railways, mining history and local revitalization facilities come together for an easy walking exploration of Tagawa.
