Doai Station (土合駅, Doai Eki^?) is a railway station on the Joetsu Line of East Japan Railway Company, located in Minakami, Gunma, Japan.

The platform for the northbound trains (to Echigo-Yuzawa and Nagaoka) is located 70 meters under ground, in the middle of Shin-Shimizu Tunnel (13,490m). It takes 10 minutes to walk the 486 steps from the ticket gate to the platform. The other platform for the southbound trains (to Minakami) is at street level, above ground.

The climb up the steps from the underground platform features at the start of the novel, NHK dramatization and movie versions of Climber's High by Hideo Yokoyama.
