Arakawaoki Station - Tsuchiura

It's a normal station, but there aren't many shops around the station. There is a convenience store at the station. There is a waiting room, a bench, and a vending machine on the platform.

Station to use when heading towards Tokyo. It is almost the same distance from the house as Tsuchiura station ... but also around the former Don Quijote ruins are parking lots and there are many cheap parking lots near here from Tsuchiura station. The front of the station is lonesome here ... There are about Izakaya ... only the West exit convenience store .... Only small convenience stores are in the station. Even in front of the station it is good that the car does not get crowded and it is good to be able to sit almost.

It takes about 1 hour to reach Ueno / Mito by local train, and depending on the time of day, rapid trains and limited express trains also stop. On the Joban Line, it is rare to be able to sit in vacant seats during commuting core time, but from the latter half of 8:00 AM, there are vacant seats depending on the boarding position. It is rare to line up at a ticket vending machine, but since there is only one manned window, it seems that about three people may line up depending on the content. Since there is only one checkout machine, three or more people may line up depending on the time of day. There are plenty of bicycle parking lots around the station, but there are about 3 free bicycle parking lots within a 5-minute walk, all of which take a dark road at late hours, which makes you nervous. I haven't felt dangerous, but there have been several snatching cases in the past, some of which have led to the arrest of the criminal. In the late hours, we often see security patrols and police patrols. After the last train, the number of taxis waiting for customers will decrease dramatically. If you haven't waited for more than 10 minutes after 1:30 AM, you may want to contact the taxi company to request a ride. If you don't know which taxi company is open late at night, you can try a drink at a nearby izakaya and have them call you at the store. Both the west exit and the east exit are convenient because there are toilets just off the escalator and stairs outside the ticket gate. Convenience stores have NEW DAYS outside the ticket gate and 7-Eleven immediately after exiting the west exit. Within 5 minutes you will find a futsal ground, a yakitori restaurant (west exit east exit), a yakiniku restaurant (east exit), a coffee shop (west exit east exit), a bar (east exit), snacks and pubs.
