From Nagoya Statition to Gifu!
The staircase leading to platforms 10 and 11 on the conventional line platform at Nagoya Station is depicted.
This is usually a very busy area, so I had to choose the right moment to take photos.
When I visited, some time had passed, and the staircase had been replaced with an escalator.
Platforms 10 and 11 are where trains bound for Tajimi, Nakatsugawa, and Shiojiri on the Kansai Main Line and Chuo Main Line stop (as of the time of my visit).
