Horigome

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

Horigome Station traces its origin to 23 June 1889, when the Aso Horse Railway opened its line from a temporary station at Kuzū to this point, the station here being named Yoshimizu; the section on to Sano followed on 10 August. The horse railway was abolished on 20 March 1894 and the station reopened the same day as a station of the Sano Railway, which Tōbu Railway absorbed on 30 March 1912. On 1 February 1915 the old Yoshimizu Station was moved 2.1 km toward Sano and renamed Horigome. The station was destaffed under a simple commission arrangement on 1 July 1981 and is now fully unattended, with an island platform reached by an underground passage.

What is now Horigome Station opened in June 1889 as Yoshimizu Station; on 1 February 1915 it was moved 2.1 km toward Sano and given the name Horigome. The old name did not go with it — a separate Yoshimizu Station is today the next stop, 2.1 km along the line on the Kuzū side.
