After the mysterious ticket gate at Hankyu Inagawa Station that looked like a portal to Hogwarts, JR Togei Station in Gunma Prefecture has also sparked a wave of discussion. Togei Station is a famous “mole station” with both an underground platform and a ground-level one. The underground platform is about 70 meters deep and requires a long walk to reach, earning it the nickname “Japan’s No. 1 Mole Station.” Recently, a Japanese netizen posted video footage of the actual journey, sparking much discussion and leading many to say it feels like heading to hell.

Upon entering Togei Station through the ticket gate, after just two turns you begin a seemingly endless descent down underground stairs. With dim lighting and few people around, many netizens say it feels like a scene from a horror movie. In reality, Togei Station is an unmanned station with low passenger volume, and its unusual layout adds to its eerie atmosphere.
