Yamana station

Yamana station is very unique because the trains enters the right side of the station, the opposite of the left-hand traffic in Japan. The unusual operation is caused by the layout of the passenger crossing in the station. There are a few other examples such as Obuse station of Nagano Dentetsu in Nagano prefecture.
