Because there were many apartments for students in the residential district east of the station, and because many fast-food restaurants--such as Yoshinoya, hamburger shops and Gyoza no Ohsho--opened around the station in the 1980s, it can be said that the area around the station was most brilliant during this period.
1980年頃の東側住宅地は学生アパートなどが多く、駅周辺にも吉野家、ハンバーガショップ、餃子の王将、といったファーストフード店が進出し、ある意味一番華やかであった時代と言えよう。
