- Doai Eki is a unique station in Japan located on the border of Gunma and Niigata prefectures.
- The southbound platform is normal, but the northbound platform requires a 15-minute walk, including a 70m descent down 500 steps into the Shin-Shimizu tunnel.
- The descent is eerie, with poor visibility and the sound of nearby rivers trickling into the tunnel.
- The northbound platform is a dark, cavernous space inside a mountain, nicknamed 'Japan’s no 1 station for moles.'
- The waiting area has anonymous notes and photos, adding a creepy, Silent Hill-like atmosphere.
- The station is near Mount Tanigawa, known as 'Death Mountain,' where over 800 climbers have died, including a group missing for 30 years.
