Platform 3 of JR Ryogoku Station is no longer in use since trains stopped arriving and departing 30 years ago. This year, a limited-time "Gyoza Station," a dumpling store, will appear on the north side of platforms 1 and 2, where the Sobu Line runs.

The "Gyoza Station" is a self-serve dumpling store where customers cook and eat their own dumplings. A stove and frying pan are provided on the table, so you don't need to bring anything to enjoy the dumplings. As for the dumplings, dumplings that can be baked without oil and water are available for feathering.

Normally, platform 3 is inaccessible. The "Gyoza Station" offers the extraordinary experience of baking, eating, and drinking beer at such a place. It's a little less hot (?). How about coming on your way home from work?
