Location
History
Hinomiko Station opened on 5 September 1925 on the Kanazawa Electric Tramway's Ishikawa Line, between Oyanagi and Tsurugi in what is today Hakusan, Ishikawa Prefecture. The line passed to Hokuriku Railroad (the present operator) on 13 October 1943, when the new corporation absorbed the route as the Hokuriku Railroad Ishikawa Line. The station has a single side platform and is unstaffed; its station number is I16, and the Hokutetsu Hinomiko substation stands beside the platform. A small stop named Tsukihashi once existed about 0.6 km toward the Tsurugi end of the line but has long since closed.
Notes
Near the station is Tetataki Shimizu ("hand-clapping spring"), which local legend connects with the priest Taichō, who opened Mount Haku: he is said to have clapped his hands here, whereupon hot water gushed from the ground.
