It is located at the entrance of the Kanizaka Tunnel, the northern gateway of Yamanashi Prefecture, and is also the entrance of the Nishizawa Valley, and the area around the station is certified forest therapy base and road. The fresh green (rhododendron) in spring, the autumn foliage are worth a look.
