Despite debates, the tentative name for the new train station, "Upper Kōzuke Plateau" (Kamou Kogen), will remain the same in Japan. The decision, driven by the local community, was made amid recurring discussions about the historical and cultural significance of the station's name in the community. The exact reasons behind the decision were not disclosed, but respect for local sentiment towards traditional names appears to be a key factor.

In Japan, the naming of a public place such as a train station is often associated with local history, culture, and sentiment. Local communities typically have a significant say in such matters. This article reflects the respect for local wisdom and conventions and the ongoing debate about preserving historical and cultural values in an ever-changing society.

In contrast, in the US or EU, the naming or renaming of public places often undergoes more bureaucratic procedures, sometimes involving town hall meetings, votes or consultation with local community boards. However, like Japan, community sentiment and cultural history often play a key role in the final decision.
