Mino Station on the old Meitetsu Mino-cho Line in Gifu Prefecture closed in April 1999 and has been preserved as a Registered Tangible Cultural Property (登録有形文化財) since 2005. The train line was abolished in March 1999. However, the charming station building still stands and open to the public, complete with a few trains on display. Mino Station first opened here in Oct. 1923. (Not to be confused with other Mino Stations in Japan.) Short walk from Minoshi Station (美濃市駅) on the Nagaragawa Railway. 名鉄美濃町線
