Station overview
Keyakidaira Station is composed of two separate platforms that are separated by 200 m of elevation. The lower platform, known as Keyakidaira Kabu Station (欅平下部駅; lit. "Lower Keyakidaira"), is open to the general public, and is the terminus of regular passenger service. The upper platform, known as Keyakidaira Jobu Station (欅平上部駅; lit. "Upper Keyakidaira"), is limited to Kanden employees only. The two platforms are connected by an elevator that is capable of carrying one train car at a time.[1]
There are several onsens near Keyakidaira Station, some of which have ryokans operating at the springs.[3][4]
