As soon as you exit the station, you can see the dinosaur statues moving and even hear them roar. They really make an impression~ The whole station is clean and new, and it’s super convenient with restaurants, souvenir shops, and a convenience store inside.
There are also department stores and shopping malls nearby, so it’s nice for killing time while waiting or transferring. The station building itself is beautifully designed, and it looks especially great at night when it’s lit up.
Overall, it feels like a station that blends local character with a modern touch.
