Location
History
Himi Station opened on 19 September 1912 as the terminus of the Chūetsu Railway's extension from Shimao, after a protracted local dispute over where to place the stop; an interim site at Ise-machi was finally accepted in 1915 as the permanent location. The Chūetsu Railway was nationalised on 1 September 1920, placing the station on the Himi Light Railway under the Ministry of Railways; that line was renamed the Himi Line on 2 September 1922. The current concrete station building was completed in October 1958 for the 13th National Sports Festival, freight handling ceased in 1978, parcel handling in 1984, and JR West took over at the JNR privatisation of 1 April 1987.
Notes
The road from in front of Himi Station to the Ise-Ōmachi intersection on National Route 415 is lined with four statues of characters from the manga Kaibutsu-kun, turning the approach to the station into a small open-air tribute to the series.
