Geosite name:
Komoa Shiotsu
This urban facility connects the area in front of JR Chuo Main Line's "Shiotsu" Station (valley bottom side) with "Comoa Shiotsu," a large-scale residential area built on a hillside in front of the station (hillside side), via the "Comoa Bridge" (inclined elevator/escalator), which overcomes an elevation difference of approximately 88 meters. This "vertical movement" serves as an educational tool that allows general visitors to experience firsthand how the topographical conditions of the Katsura River basin (valley bottom and hills/slopes) directly influence residential development, transportation routes, and barrier-free design.
