Kitano Station - Hachioji

For residents along the Keio Takao Line, it is an important station to use when transferring to the Chuo Line. Also, if you go to Mt. Takao, you can change here.

This is a limited express stop on the Keio Line. It is a branch station of Keio Hachioji and Takaosanguchi. It is a very convenient station to get to Shinjuku because the honor train stops.

It is a convenient station with a transfer between the Keio Line and the Takao Line for going down, and a slow and fast connection for going up. The bus stop is at the north exit rotary where the downtown area is located, the stop for Minami Osawa and Katakuradai, and the direction for Hachioji station is across the pedestrian bridge at the south exit, so for the first time You may be at a loss when you get on the bus.

It is a transfer station for Hachioji on the main line and for Takao Yamaguchi on the Takao line. Both have many departures at the same time. I feel the power of the Hachioji line, which is on the Takao Yamaguchi line and approaches and speeds up.

Swallows build their nests every year In the low-ceilinged aisle, the swallows that fly in front of people with their own faces are left unattended to make the passengers look dangerous. It's understandable to protect swallows It is made every year in a place that clearly causes inconvenience to users. Measures should be taken. When it's time to go to the aisle. Hung on the wall. Extremely unsanitary.

I don't want to evaluate this station. It is unavoidably one star, but originally it is -5. Rarely, there is a free bicycle parking lot in front of Hachioji station, but bicycle thieves actively steal bicycles even though it is close to a police box with multiple people, which is less than 50 meters away. The police are so stupid, but even if the bicycle is stolen, "there is no anti-theft number in the damage report ..." I didn't want to hear about the actual situation, so I postponed the damage report two weeks later. It's useless and wasteful just to spend time. If you look at the police's salt response, you can see how many bicycles are stolen, but they seem to have no sympathy or interest in the first place. It's likely that you're only interested in quotas. Former Self-Defense Forces member said, "I'm crazy when I'm a civil servant." The toll bicycle parking lot is under the elevated railway station, and if there are no guards, people will not be able to see it, and I don't feel like putting it there. Not just the police. Even if the area in front of this countryside station was elevated, it was rather lonely. The old bookstore and candy store collapsed, and a bank and a matsuya were opened, but the quiet appearance remains the same. The shops in the station were often crushed, and there were no ramen shops or subways. Atm in the post office station also disappeared. This station does not develop at all. One of the reasons is that the Hachioji Bypass crosses the station, which divides the Kitano Station North-South bus pavilion. Moreover, a river flows to the south side and the commercial facility cannot be expanded. Of course, there was no Hachioji Bypass when the station was built, but there was a plan early on. Most rivers have been around for a long time. It was a mistake to build a station in such a place ┐ ('～ `;) ┌, but it seems that the land acquisition failed. Most of the people who live in Hachioji are disgusted by the countryside and inconvenience of Hachioji, the insecurity of the yakuza town with pachislot right in front of the station, the lack of money in the city hall and the lack of measures based on it. It seems that many people come from Yamanashi prefecture. The Keio Line stations after Takahatafudo are not busy, but even if you say "This is Yamanashi Prefecture's Sakai Railway Higurashi Station", you might be fooled. (* _ *)
