[edit] Around the station

The koban located at the north entrance of the train station is known as a model of a koban in Osamu Akimoto's long-run manga Kochira Katsushika-ku Kameari Kōen-mae Hashutsujo. The police cartoon stages in Kameari area where the train station is situated. As a tribute to the cartoon, two statues of the officer Kankichi Ryotsu, the main character of the series, were placed near north and south entrances of the train station in 2006.
