Notes
The Nagaura area was originally developed as a seaside resort with the Nagaura Beach Resort villa quarter; the "Tako no Tāchan" (Octopus Tā-chan) reinforced-concrete monument was installed beside the station in 1927 as the bathing beach's symbol. The beach was destroyed by Typhoon Vera (the Isewan Typhoon) in 1959 and never restored — the site was reclaimed as landfill — and the Tāchan monument was dismantled in December 1963.
