Hinaga (Mie)

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

Hinaga Station opened on 14 August 1912 as the starting point of the Mie Tramway's line between Hinaga and Hachiōji-mura (later Ise-Hachiōji), and became a junction on 10 January 1922 when the Mie Railway's line from Hinaga to Oguso opened. The operator changed four times: the Mie Railway in 1916, Sanco in 1944 by wartime merger, the Mie Electric Railway in 1964 by divestiture, and finally Kintetsu on 1 April 1965. The Utsube and Hachiōji lines have been operated by the Yokkaichi Asunarō Railway since 1 April 2015. The station nickname "Asunarō Chūō-Ryokuchi" was added on 23 December 2019 because the station is the closest one to Chūō Ryokuchi, a venue for the 76th National Sports Festival then planned for 2021, and ICOCA support followed on 21 August 2021.

Platform 3 lies on the outside of the sharpest curve on the Utsube and Hachiōji lines, a radius of only 100 metres, so the gap between train and platform is unusually wide; the long-bodied Mo 260 and Ku 160 cars have the corners of their body ends cut away so that they can pass through this stretch.
