Shin-Kani Station (新可児駅 Shinkani-eki) is a railway station on the Meitetsu Hiromi Line in Kani, Gifu, Japan, operated by the private railway operator Nagoya Railroad (Meitetsu).[1]
Lines
Shin-Kani Station is served by the Meitetsu Hiromi Line. It is located close to Kani Station operated by JR Central on the Taita Line for Tajimi and Mino-Ōta.
Layout
There are two physical platforms. One physical platform has Platform 1, which serves trains bound for Mitake. Although the line from Shin-Kani to Mitake is a continuation of the same Hiromi Line from Inuyama, the lines are physically disconnected at Shin-Kani Station and passengers wishing to go beyond Shin-Kani must transfer at Shin-Kani. There is a second wicket within the station for such passengers. Therefore, passengers transferring must pass through one set of gates, and passengers starting their trip at Shin-Kani must pass through two sets of gates. Platform 1 supports trains with no more than two cars, so only wanman driver-only operation trains can go from Shin-Kani to Mitake.
The other physical platform has Platform 2 and Platform 3, both serving trains bound for Inuyama. Platform 2 can support trains with no more than 4 cars, and Platform 3 can support trains with no more than 6 cars.
There is one exit. When leaving, there is a convenience store on the left and ticket machines and a staff window on the right. Outside the station are taxis and on the station's right, when exiting, is JR's Kani Station.
