Teshio-Nakagawa Station (天塩中川駅, Teshio-Nakagawa-eki) is a railway station located in the town of Nakagawa, Hokkaidō, Japan. It is operated by JR Hokkaido.[1][2]
The station is served by the Sōya Main Line, and lies 161.9 km from the starting point of the line at Asahikawa.[3]
Layout
Teshio-Nakagawa Station has two side platforms connected by a level crossing. The station is unattended, and managed by Nakagawa town. The station building is located on the west side of the station premises, adjacent to the center of platform 1. The current station building was completed in 1953. Nakagawa Town took over the building from JR Hokkaido in 2014, and renovated it using locally grown Japanese cedar to recreate the original atmosphere. The old station office next to the waiting room was renovated to create the town's event space, Nakagawa Town Communication Plaza.
