Station history

The station, originally called Kigakōkōmae Station (気賀高校前駅, Kigakōkōmae-eki), was established on March 15, 1987, the date the former Futamata Line of the Japanese National Railways was succeeded by the Tenryū Hamanako Railroad as its Tenryū Hamanako Line. The station was used by students of nearby Kiga High School, from which the station took the name.[1]

Because the high school was to be closed, the station name was changed to the present one on March 14, 2015, concurrently with the opening of Morimachibyōin-mae Station.[2]

Passenger statistics

In fiscal 2016, the station was used by an average of 24 passengers daily (boarding passengers only).
