Improvement Works
Kaminoge station is currently undergoing building works due for completion in March 2011. The new station design is by the architect Tadao Ando. "This project includes extension of the route and provision of barrier-free access. An ordinary road cuts across the station site, above the platforms. The idea of the proposal is to cover the various facilities of the station and bus stops located on both sides of the road with a single large roof. The objective is the rational consolidation of urban infrastructure through the integration of diverse transportation networks and the creation of a townscape around the station that will be the "face" presented to visitors by the district."
