History
The station was inaugurated in October 1992.[1] On 1 January 2006 the station was closed due to low passenger traffic. After that, the roads connecting the platform were removed.[2][3] On 31 May 2019, the station was closed.[4]. The local government made a small renovation work at the former station building where they expanded the observation deck above the tracks.[5]

gollark: Who? My laptop? The O-5 Council? [REDACTED]? Queen Elizabeth II? The people who replace the adverts on buses? The reptilian illuminati aliens?
gollark: I assumed my phone would use its GPS chip for time, but it seems to be off more than it should be if that was true.
gollark: Well, I set my watch and such based on my laptop, which is then synced via NTP with ~centisecond accuracy.
gollark: How exciting; I can't wait to communicate with spirits, then negotiate business deals involving having them look up random information on things in return for factory-farmed souls.
