History
Ashino-Kōen Station is a station on the privately operated Tsugaru Railway Line in the city of Goshogawara, Aomori Prefecture, located 14.3 km from the line's terminus at Tsugaru-Goshogawara. It opened on 4 October 1930. The original station building, a single-storey wooden structure with a copper roof and pentagonal half-hipped gable, was replaced in 1975 but preserved on site. The building features in Osamu Dazai's novel "Tsugaru" and is now operated by the NPO "Kanagi Genki Club" as a cafe and second-hand bookstore. It received protection as a Registered Tangible Cultural Property on 19 December 2014 and is the last remaining structure on the Tsugaru Railway dating from the line's opening.
Notes
The 1930 wooden station building, preserved on site and registered as a Tangible Cultural Property in 2014, now houses a cafe and second-hand bookshop run by a local NPO and appears in Osamu Dazai's novel "Tsugaru".
