Bouton/Bokakuan is a space created by renovating a former craft store and residence in a corner of a shopping street in Nogata City, Fukuoka Prefecture. The banks of the Onga River, which flows through the center of the city, and Mount Fukuchi, which can be viewed from the riverbed, are very beautiful. The city center, where time flows peacefully, is a place where you can spend your time at a leisurely pace. I enjoy listening to people's stories, reading books, taking photos, and taking walks. I also cherish my time by tending to the garden at Bokakuan. Please come and have a nice chat and share some quiet time together.

NOGATA CYCLE SPOT

The design concept is "coal," which was the driving force behind the development of this region until half a century ago.

"KUROGIN" is inspired by anthracite, the purest type of coal, with a sparkling surface.

Coal was once called "black diamond," so the logo and other designs feature diamonds.

The trains, with their predominant black and silver exterior and interior, will shine as a driving force for new development along the line, connecting people and the region.

There are seven long seats and folding seats, with a capacity of 117 people.

When not in use, the folding seats become a bike rack that can hold up to five bikes.
