Location

History

Gujō-Yamato Station sits on the Nagaragawa Railway Etsumi-Nan Line at Tsurugi-aza-Ogura, Yamato-chō, Gujō City, Gifu Prefecture, with station number 29. It opened on 9 July 1932 as the temporary terminus Mino-Yatomi Station when the Railway Ministry extended the Etsumi-Nan Line from Gujō-Hachiman, and was extended onward to Mino-Shirotori on 5 July 1933. It came under the management of Mino-Shirotori Station in June 1961, lost freight service on 1 October 1974, had its operations contracted out to an agent in April 1975, ended parcel handling on 1 February 1984, and became unstaffed on 1 April 1985. On 11 December 1986 it transferred to Nagaragawa Railway with the Etsumi-Nan Line, was renamed Gujō-Yamato — reflecting its location at the centre of Yamato-chō — and was reconfigured as a passing-loop station.

Notes

The wooden station building houses the café "Kissa Nagara", which is operated separately and does not handle ticket sales or other railway business. The two platforms are staggered and, with no footbridge, are linked by a crossing running from the middle of the station-building platform to the far end of the opposite one. The entry and departure signals are provided only on the side marked with the destination, so trains cannot depart in the reverse direction.
