History

Chōjagahamashiosaihamanasukōenmae Station opened on 18 November 1990 as an in-fill stop on the Kashima Rinkai Railway Ōarai Kashima Line, in what is today the city of Kashima, Ibaraki Prefecture. The station was added after the completion of Ōno Shiosai Hamanasu Park by the former village of Ōno, partly to give Ibaraki primary schoolchildren a destination for field trips, with roughly fifty-seven million yen of the village's Furusato-sōsei subsidy put towards building the station. It is 48.4 kilometres from the line's start at Mito and consists of a single elevated side platform with no station building.

Notes

When it opened in 1990 the station had the longest name on any Japanese railway at 22 hiragana characters; Minami-Aso Mizu-no-Umareru-Sato Hakusui-Kōgen Station matched that reading length when it opened in 1992, and this station again held the longest reading in Japan from 2007 until 2015. It remains the longest station name in eastern Japan.
