Do you think the previous post on Kisaragi Station is creepy?
Well, meet Doai station (土合駅)! The station has two single side platforms, one of which is located underground. Located some 70 metres (230 feet) below ground level, the underground platform makes the station (as of 2016) deepest in Japan! According to hikers who used the station, it takes approximately 10 minutes to walk from the ticket gate down to the underground platform. If this is not troubling enough, the station is an unattended. On average, only 24 people use the station per day.

Welcome to japan's deepest train station
Trains stop at the station once every three hours
The elevated platform for southbound trains, normal enough!
If you are waiting for northbound trains, it would be another story.
Are you ready?
The hallway toward the underground platform has a scenery atypical of Japanese horror film.
We're almost there!
Let the adventure begins!
The staircase from the surface to the underground platform totals some 462 steps.
Translation: Congratulations, you finished the 462 steps and reached the ground level. This is the equivalent of a 12-storey building!
