Ina-Fukuoka

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

Ina-Fukuoka Station opened in December 1914 as the terminus of an Ina Electric Tramway extension from Akaho (now Komagane), in what is now the city of Komagane, Nagano Prefecture. The line was extended further in 1915, making the station an intermediate stop. The Ina Electric Railway was nationalised on 1 August 1943 and incorporated into the Iida Line. Freight operations ended in stages between 1971 and 1982, and the station was made unstaffed on 24 February 1983 when CTC operation was introduced. With the privatisation of Japan National Railways on 1 April 1987 the station passed to JR Central. The original station building was demolished in February 2004 and replaced by the present concrete waiting shelter.

The waiting shelter's entrance is designed around the motif of the Iida Line's celebrated "Ω curve", the loop of track between Ina-Fukuoka and neighbouring Tagiri Station.
