Musashi-Ranzan Station - Hiki District

In the past, route buses to Hanamidai Industrial Park and hospitals were operated in small amounts, and they were used but were abolished. The Togagawa municipal bus is still alive.

A station in Ranzan-cho, which opened in 1918. It is the only station in Ranzan-cho, and there is a tourist information center and souvenir shop at the west exit. Ranzan is the town where Yoko Oginome & Keiko spent their childhood.

Every morning at 8:00 there is movement clean well maintained station should only have convenient Seven or Lawson The trains will pay take a long time

The nearest stations to Ranzan Valley, Lavender Garden, Kinsenji Temple, etc. The scenery along the valley is similar to Arashiyama in Kyoto (I don't think ...), so the town name and station name were given. It is a suburban town, and there are shopping centers, home electronics mass retailers, restaurants, car supplies stores, etc. along National Highway 254, which is about 15 to 20 minutes walk from the station. On the other hand, in front of the station, there is a tourist information center that sells local sweets and crafts that was built in the last few years, a highly acclaimed Arashiyama station square cafeteria, a branch of a bank such as Saitama Resona, and a izakaya fish at the east exit. There are only people (and police boxes). The west exit is a shopping street, but there are many old-fashioned shops with a very early Showa era atmosphere, and there are only shops that are closed or only regular people visit. The east exit did not have a ticket gate until about 20 years ago (until then, the station building was not on the bridge but on the ground), so it has not been developed much. It takes about 10 minutes on foot from either convenience store, even if it is nearby. The supermarket has to go out along No. 254. There are no car rental shops or Times Car Share parking lots. There is no rental cycle. (There is a free bicycle parking lot at the east exit. The parking lot is in the countryside, so cheap places are near both) Buses go to Tokigawa-cho only (about 1 bus every 2 hours) except for golf courses and Hanamidai Industrial Park (for employees only). It is an inconvenient station that only local customers use because it is basically a car movement.

There is a roundabout in front of the station, so transportation is easy. Is it a facility for infants next to the ticket gate? There is also. There are also many banners of the Hiki clan that are often seen in the vicinity these days.

Musashi-Ranzan Station on the Tobu Railway Tojo Line. (Musashi Ranzan) Opened as Sugaya Station on November 5, 1923. Ikebukuro starting point 57.1km Station number TJ32 Tourists began to visit after it was published in the newspaper that Dr. Honda, a forest scholar who visited the valley in Sugaya Village, Hiki District in 1928, said that it resembles Kyoto Arashiyama. The name was changed to Musashi Arashiyama Station on October 1, 1935. In March 2002, double tracking was extended from Shinrinkoen Station. The distance between stations to the next station, Ogawamachi Station, is 7.0km, which is the longest on the Tobu-Tojo Line. Buses depart and arrive only at the west exit. When the town system was enforced in 1967, the name was changed from Sugaya Village to Ranzan Town, Hiki District. There was Sugaya-juku in this area where Kodama went back and forth.

Second-hand houses in the neighborhood are cheap, right? It's really cheap. Is it safe? Because there are many elderly people. Someone who wants to relax. It is a town that specializes in livability that is friendly to car people. It is rather difficult for the townspeople to talk about anything other than the direction of Sugaya along National Highway 254. Surprisingly there is no cheap parking lot nearby (monthly is cheap). There is no convenience store in front of the station, but is it a cafe like a rest area inside the station? You can buy drinks at. There is no liveliness in front of the station. The advantage of the station is that the first train station is next door and it is still easy to sit in the morning.
