Surrounding Area
The surrounding area is all farmland with the exception of Makabe hospital which was the original reason the station was opened. At one point the area was supposed to be up for new development; however, as the local populace managed to cling to life longer than expected, the area has remained farmland to this day. Consequently, the majority of traffic for this station is mainly destined for the local Makabe hospital, still in operation to this day.

Famous quotes containing the words surrounding and/or area:
“Thus when I come to shape here at this table between my hands the story of my life and set it before you as a complete thing, I have to recall things gone far, gone deep, sunk into this life or that and become part of it; dreams, too, things surrounding me, and the inmates, those old half-articulate ghosts who keep up their hauntings by day and night ... shadows of people one might have been; unborn selves.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
“Prosperous farmers mean more employment, more prosperity for the workers and the business men of ... every industrial area in the whole country.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
