History

Haga-Takanezawa-kōgyō-danchi Station (no. 19) is the terminus of the Utsunomiya Light Rail Utsunomiya-Haga LRT Line, in Shimo-Takanezawa, Haga, Haga District, Tochigi. The provisional name during planning was "Honda-giken-kita-mon" ("Honda Motor north gate"), but it fell foul of the line's naming standard forbidding "specific personal, corporate, or organisational names" and was excluded from final candidacy; following a residents' vote, the current name was adopted. The stop's name was decided on 23 April 2021, and it opened on 26 August 2023. Although the stop is in Haga Town, in Haga District, the boundary with Takanezawa Town in Shioya District is only about 400 m beyond the bumper-stop. The stop has a single island platform serving two tracks, with turnaround facilities. The platform connects via a footbridge that crosses the road on its northern side. Departing trains play the "Kōyū" departure melody composed by Naoya Fukushima.

Notes

Although the stop name was settled by a residents' vote, the geography is finely balanced: the platform sits in Haga Town, but only 400 m past the bumper-stop the boundary crosses into Takanezawa Town in Shioya District — making it a terminus that just barely avoids being a Takanezawa-side terminal.
