Higashi-Mikkaichi

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

Higashi-Mikkaichi Station opened on 5 November 1922 as a station on the Kurobe Railway. With the wartime consolidation of Toyama Prefecture's railway operators on 1 January 1943 it became part of Toyama Chihō Railway, and on 11 November of the same year the former Kurobe Railway line was raised from 600 V to 1500 V, allowing through running from Dentetsu-Toyama. The wooden station building has been rebuilt twice, in 1953 and 1959. From 1 April 1969 a route renaming reassigned the Dentetsu-Toyama to Unazuki section as the Main Line, and from a 26 February 2015 timetable revision the station was dropped from limited-express stops.

The station's romanisation today reads "HIGASHI MITSUKAICHI", but in the early 1930s the Kurobe Railway used the Nippon-shiki system, painting the boards as "HIGASIMIKKAITI" — an unusual choice for a private operator of the period.
