Location
History
Higashi-Namerikawa Station sits on the Ainokaze Toyama Railway Line in Namerikawa, Toyama Prefecture, 62.1 km from the line's start at Kurikara. The site was first opened on 1 October 1943 as Hayatsuki Signal Station on the state-run Hokuriku Main Line, and was upgraded to a full passenger station on 20 November 1964 after local petitioners financed the construction. It passed to JR West at the 1987 privatisation. With the 14 March 2015 opening of the Hokuriku Shinkansen extension to Kanazawa, parallel local services were transferred to the third-sector Ainokaze Toyama Railway and the station changed hands again. It remains unattended.
Notes
The station was upgraded from a signal station to a passenger stop in 1964 at the petition of the surrounding community, and because the upgrade came at local request the community bore the entire cost of the construction.
