Station overview

Station interior

Keyakidaira Station is composed of two separate platforms that are separated by 200 m of elevation. The lower platform, known as Keyakidaira Kabu Station (欅平下部駅, lit. "Lower Keyakidaira"), is open to the general public, and is the terminus of regular passenger service. The upper platform, known as Keyakidaira Jobu Station (欅平上部駅, lit. "Upper Keyakidaira"), is limited to Kanden employees only. The two platforms are connected by an elevator that is capable of carrying one train car at a time.[1]

There are several onsens near Keyakidaira Station, some of which have ryokans operating at the springs.[3][4]
