This is a small Meiji-era (1868-1912) Japanese train station I commissioned from Oshiro (https://www.oshiromodels.co.uk/ (https://www.oshiromodels.co.uk/)). The design itself is a fifth-class station, the smallest standard station design authorized in 1900 (Meiji 33). These can still be found around the country, especially on Kyushu, with most I've Seen dating from the first decade of the 20th century, though Higashi Sonogi County’s Chiwata Station was built to the pattern in 1928 (Showa 3).

The references I gave for it are Osumi Yokogawa (1903 / Meiji 36) Station and Kareigawa Station (1903 / Meiji 36) in Kirishima, Kagoshima Prefecture. I’m really happy with this and can’t wait to incorporate it into a game.
