This is the renovation of a wooden station facility that has been in operation for about 90 years. Because the station is located in a densely populated residential area where it is difficult to secure a construction yard, it was difficult to use heavy machinery. The roof of the reconstructed platform consists of a wooden scissor truss structure and a steel frame, which is formed by interlocking small members that can be transported by hand.
