Every metro interior should strive to look like a wood-paneled station wagon
Thanks for all the responses! The Kita-Osaka Kyuko line is basically just an extension of the Midosuji line further north. Why it’s not part of the Osaka Metro officially I can’t say. A new two-station extension opened last month!
The appeal of Takedao Station to me is the frequent trains (4 trains per hour) to what is essentially a rural location. The walking path of the old rail route looks fun, and the ryokan nearby looks nice too.
The Nosaden Myoken Line is a beautiful train line with trains every 10 minutes, so it’s definitely worth a trip anyway.
Oh and if you go to Takedao Station please take pictures and post them here. I’ll pin them to the front of this comm.
Hey so just to follow up on this.
I went to Takedao and I have some photos that I need to scrub of data, but i’m not sure if it fits into urbanism?
There’s about five buildings there total and the train station is INSIDE the mountain tunnel. You access it through two sets of stairs attached to the side of the mountain.
I did walk down the old train tracks which are now a hiking path, very cool, many bugs.
