Hello. I will review this soon. Regards. — The Most Comfortable Chair 04:33, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

Lead

• "It is the busiest railway station in Hiranai." — Mention the year in which this was reported.

Location

• Link — "Hiranai" when first mentioned.
• "The station is situated within at the northern edge of the urban core of Hiranai" — "within at" sounds strange. Perhaps keep one of them?
• "the site is now occupied by the local history museum." — Avoid using "now" because its usage feels like something is being reported live on, instead of an account of what happened. Use "as of YYYY" or "the site was occupied by the local history museum in YYYY".
• Consider splitting the single paragraph into two as it appears to be a little too big because of the infobox. Maybe a second paragraph from "At the time..."

Station layout

• "siding" — Can there be a brief note explaining what it means? Alternatively, is there a page (maybe on Wiktionary) it can be linked to?
• "Tickets can be purchased at an automatic dispenser at all times while passenger trains are running." — Could lose "at all times" here unless it is not common for them to be purchased at all times elsewhere in Japan.

Public art

• "a series of paintings depicting scenes from around Hiranai depicting the town's landscapes, flora, fauna, and industry" — Avoid using "depicting" twice in the same sentence.

History

• Can there be a brief mention of the construction process? When did it start, or how long did it take?
• "Trees were planted adjacent to the station in May 1892 to create a barrier between the railway and the open fields that would frequently allow snow to block the tracks." — Instead of "that would frequently allow snow to block the tracks", can it be phrased in a manner which says that the trees would prevent the snow from blocking the tracks?
• Since there is a big leap in the timeline and the first paragraph is too big, I started "The station escaped destruction during..." as a new paragraph and moved the image from top to the beginning of the new one to be consistent with the prose's timeline.
• "and Kominato Station soon after picked up the destroyed station's role as the terminal station" — "soon after" can be removed.
• "In 1961, the reconstruction of Kominato Station began, with the aim of replacing the World War II-era building" — Nothing wrong with this but I felt that it wasn't explained that there was a World War II-era building there previously. Perhaps the previous statement of "...was developed during the war as a backup terminal station to prepare for the eventuality of Aomori Station being destroyed" could clarify as to how and what was developed? As it is, it sounds like there were only some minor modifications.
• "The section of the Tōhoku Main Line including this station was transferred to Aoimori Railway on 4 December 2010." — Can a brief description of Aoimori Railways be added? The lead says that it is "a third sector, regional rail operator" so it should be mentioned in the prose.

Services

• Link — "Hachinohe" as it is only previously linked in a table.

Bus services

• Link — "Asamushi Onsen".

References

• Reference 5, 12, 16, and 18 — Require language parameter.
• Reference 3 — Needs publisher/work.
• Reference 8 and 19 — Use "publisher" instead of "website".
• Reference 18 — Has a different translated title per source translation, and will need publisher/work.
• Reference 25 — Needs more parameters.
• Links to Wikipedia articles — There is some inconsistency here. "Town of Hiranai" is linked in some references and not in others. Links should either be added to every reference or when it is first found in the numerical order. If links are kept, other links will be required, like links to "Aoimori Railway Co.,Ltd" and "JR East".

External links

• Remove the blog per WP:EL.

That will be all for now. It was a good read and should pass. Thank you. — The Most Comfortable Chair 06:44, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

Hello and thanks for taking the time to review this article. I have addressed the issues listed above aside from the ones in the referencing and history sections. I will most likely get to that sometime tomorrow (Japan time). Best, ❯❯❯ Mccunicano☕️ 13:53, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

All right. You have a wonderful signature by the way. — The Most Comfortable Chair 14:12, 19 March 2021 (UTC)

Made some more progress - the referencing issues should all be straightened out and I've taken care of a bit of the history section. I should be done quite soon have finished polishing that section. Thank you, I enjoy your signature as well! Normally there would be color to it, but it's black while I mourn Yoninah. ❯❯❯ Mccunicano☕️ 01:00, 21 March 2021 (UTC)

Oh no, this is heartbreaking. I had no idea this had happened. They helped me with my very first DYK nomination — they were so actively involved in that area and have made such a huge positive impact. They are unreplaceable and will be missed so much. I hope they are in a better place now. — The Most Comfortable Chair 03:55, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
