History

Kita-Matsumoto Station opened on 6 January 1915 as Matsumoto Station (松本駅) for both passenger and freight operations. Three months later, on 5 April 1915, a new Matsumoto Station was built, and the original station was renamed Kita-Matsumoto and used for freight operations only. Passenger operations resumed on 18 September 1916. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR) on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR East. A new elevated station building was completed in April 2000.[1]

Passenger statistics

In fiscal 2015, the station was used by an average of 756 passengers daily (boarding passengers only).[2]
