Tosa-Shirahama Station (土佐白浜駅, Tosa-Shirahama-eki) is a train station on the Tosa Kuroshio Railway Nakamura Line in Kuroshio, Hata District, Kōchi Prefecture, Japan. It is operated by the Tosa Kuroshio Railway and has the station number "TK32".[1][2]

Lines[]

The station is served by the Tosa Kuroshio Railway Nakamura Line, and is located 24.1 km from the starting point of the line at Kubokawa.[3] Only local trains stop at the station.[4]

Layout[]

There is no station building. The station, which is unmanned, consists of a single platform serving a single line and is located on an embankment high above the adjacent main road and buildings. A ramp from the main road leads to a shelter for waiting passengers which is located on a lower level. Steps from the shelter lead up to the platform which is thus not wheelchair accessible. There is no shelter on the platform itself. The station is a designated evacuation area in the event of tsunamis.[5][6] [7]
