Departure data for this station is not available on this site.

Echigo-Shikawatari Station opened on 6 November 1927 as a stop on the Iiyama Line in the town of Tsunan, Nakauonuma District, Niigata. The line was nationalised in June 1944, bringing the station under the Ministry of Transport (later Japanese National Railways). Freight handling ceased in 1970, and station-staff duties were transferred to a local agent before being eliminated entirely in 1982. With the privatisation of JNR on 1 April 1987 the station passed to JR East. A new station building was completed in December 2002. Today it is an unstaffed single-track halt managed remotely from Tōkamachi Station.
