Station melody
Since the cherry blossom season in 2006, a track called Sakura Sakura ( さ く ら さ く ら , Sakura Sakura , English cherry blossom, cherry blossom ) has been played because it is assumed that the Yoshino cherry ( 染 井 吉野 , Somei-yoshino , nomenclature Prunus × yedoensis ) could have one of its origins near today's train station. Originally the use of the melody was limited to the cherry blossom season, but from 2007 the melody was used permanently as a station melody.
