History
Echigo-Kanamaru Station opened on 30 November 1933 with the extension of the Yonesaka West Line from Echigo-Shimoseki. It serves the village of Sekikawa in Niigata Prefecture and sits 67.8 rail kilometres from the Yonezawa terminus of today's Yonesaka Line. Freight handling was withdrawn in June 1978 and parcel services in February 1983, when the station became unstaffed. The station passed to JR East at the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987. In December 2016 the western platform and its track were taken out of use, leaving a single side platform serving one track; the footbridge was dismantled afterwards. Services here have been suspended since the August 2022 rainstorms.
Notes
Echigo-Kanamaru is the easternmost railway station in Niigata Prefecture.
