Station layout

Some express trains to Oimachi pass local ones here during the rush-hour. For this purpose the station is equipped with a third track lacking a platform. When the Denentoshi Line extension to Mizonokuchi is inaugurated in 2008, the station opens in its final configuration with 2 through tracks.

Improvement works

Kaminoge station is currently undergoing building works due for completion in March 2011.^[1] The new station design is by the architect Tadao Ando. "This project includes extension of the route and provision of barrier-free access. An ordinary road cuts across the station site, above the platforms. The idea of the proposal is to cover the various facilities of the station and bus stops located on both sides of the road with a single large roof. The objective is the rational consolidation of urban infrastructure through the integration of diverse transportation networks and the creation of a townscape around the station that will be the "face" presented to visitors by the district."^[2]
