Location

History

Ina-Kamisato Station is on the Iida Line in Iida, Nagano Prefecture, 131.1 km from the line's starting point at Toyohashi. It opened around late 1923 as Kamisato Stop on the Ina Electric Railway between Sakuramachi and Motozenkōji, was promoted to Kamisato Station on 16 December 1935 with the addition of freight, and renamed Ina-Kamisato in January 1936. The Ina Electric Railway was nationalised on 1 August 1943 and the line became part of the Iida Line. The restriction on which stations passengers using it could travel to and from was eased on 1 December 1954 and lifted altogether on 1 April 1971, and JR Central took the station over at privatisation on 1 April 1987.

Notes

The platform was originally laid on the inside of a sharp curve, but the gap to passing trains was so wide that it was moved to the outside of the bend, where passengers still need to mind the step.
