Kōriyama Station

The Tohoku Shinkansen, Tohoku Main Line, Ban-Etsusai Line, Ban-Etsusai Line, and Suigun Line are gathered together, making it a large station due to transfer demand. You can shop and eat anything.

Stations on the Tohoku Shinkansen, Tohoku Main Line, Banetsu West Line, Banetsu East Line, and Mizugun Line. You can use Suica on the Banetsu East Line until Miharu, Banetsu West Line up to Aizuwakamatsu, and Tohoku Main Line up to Yabuki, but you cannot use the Mizugun Line.

A normal station. It's more like a station for locals than a tourist. Even though the Shinkansen stops ... There is also a supermarket in the station building, indicating that it is directly connected to daily life. When I wanted to buy souvenirs, the souvenir shop fit in the station building, but I also had things outside Fukushima prefecture, so I did not know exactly what Fukushima souvenirs were.

Around noon on October 30, 2009, when I first saw my nephew and the Shinkansen at the platform and tried to exit the Shinkansen ticket gate, I accidentally passed a conventional line ticket and was irritated by the staff at the ticket gate. "That's not it, that's it." I'm just uncomfortable with the veteran staff's face and the terrible response to what happened while my nephew was chopping.

I asked for the address of the receipt, but it was treated like a fool from beginning to end, and it was very unpleasant to be thrown at the end of the return! ️‼ ️ I used this station for the first time because of my work, but I don't want to stop by again if I can ? terrible

The premises where the national railway color remains ① There is an underpass on the Asakanagamori side, but there is no escalator ② There is an elevator on the Hiwada side ③ The front ticket gate is tiring because you get off via the underpass or on line 1, so it's easier to go to the Espal side. The east exit is better because the staff will take you out when you meet your private car in front of the station.

Do you know that there is a "Anywhere Door" at Koriyama Station in Fukushima Prefecture? I remembered watching a Softbank commercial on TV ... ? Dorami-chan is the door everywhere in that Doraemon that appears with the door open all over the country ♪ It's been a long time ago ... ? Is there anymore? (Laughs) ?

In conclusion, it is better to use a bus if the destination is a place that can be reached by bus, rather than using a conventional line. The quality of customer service between JR station staff and high-speed bus crew is completely different. Use conventional lines. Neither Mobile Suica nor Card Suica can be used in some sections. (Example: Both Koriyama Station and Iwaki Station are compatible with IC cards, but cannot be used on the Ban-Etsuto Line.) Credit cards cannot be used at the ticket vending machines on the first floor. Unfortunately, I had to feel that the quality of the station staff on the conventional line was quite low. I think unmanned is enough. I feel that the Japanese National Railways was like this. There is nothing good about the attitude from the top. You should avoid talking to the station staff as much as possible. Use the Shinkansen. When you exit the ticket gate, there is almost nothing up to the platform. Unlike conventional lines, you can use credit cards to purchase tickets. You can also use Suica without a ticket. The Shinkansen is easier for long-distance travel such as Tokyo and Aomori. If you have children who like the Shinkansen, you can go through the Tohoku, Yamagata, and Akita Shinkansen just by buying an admission ticket and looking at the Shinkansen. You can see. In both cases, the north-south movements such as Tokyo and Sendai are convenient because there are many Shinkansen and Tohoku main lines, but even within the prefecture, the east-west movements of Wakamatsu and Iwaki such as the Ban-Etsuto Line, Ban-Etsusai Line, and Suigun Line are still convenient. It's inconvenient. For example, it is good to go to Tamura City, Ono Town, Tanagura Town, Yasai Town, etc. on the Ban-Etsuto Line or Suigun Line, but if you go to the end point Iwaki City or Mito City, it depends on the time of the transfer. Most of them take the Tohoku Shinkansen via Ueno Station, and the Joban Line Limited Express to Iwaki Station or Mito Station is faster. Also, if you go to Soma or Futaba, there is no direct line, so you will need to go via Sendai Station (Iwanuma Station).
