English	By the coronavirus, the railway business has changed. In this plan, we considered that the station can contribute to the city in the lives of people after the coronavirus pandemic. As a method, we used wooden louvers made of locally produced materials at the entrances and exits of the station to give a sense of community connections. For the ceiling of the platform, the existing building was re-used by lighting up the existing frame to give the impression of an entrance to the city. In addition, we held an environmental event, and proposed a new station with the goal of passing on the affection and reducing the environmental load.
Native	コロナウィルスの影響で鉄道利用者数が減少し、鉄道事業を取り巻く状況は大きく変化した。本計画ではコロナ禍後の人々の暮らしに駅が街に貢献できることを考えた。その手法として、駅の出入口には、地域のつながりと温もりを感じさせる地場産材の木ルーバーを活用した。また、プラットホームの天井は、環境配慮から天井材を撤去し、既存躯体をライトアップすることで光のトンネルを抜けて車両がアプローチし、街の玄関口としての駅を印象付ける。単純な建替えでもよかったが、できるだけ既存駅舎を再活用した改修を行い、さらに駅利用者が参加できる環境イベントを実施することで、愛着の継承と環境負荷の低減を目標とした新しい駅づくりの提案を行った。
