History
Ina-Kozawa Station opened on 30 December 1936 with the Sanshin Railway's extension between Kowada and Mitsushima (now Hiraoka), and became part of the nationalised Iida Line on 1 August 1943. Freight handling ended on 1 December 1971 and the station was destaffed on 24 February 1984 when the southern Iida Line moved to CTC control. It passed to JR Central with privatisation on 1 April 1987, and gained a new waiting room on 12 February 2000. The remote, unstaffed pair of opposed platforms now appears on the seasonal Iida-Line "hikyō-eki" (secluded station) tourist runs.
Notes
A kanzakura cherry in the station grounds is said to be the earliest-blooming cherry in Nagano Prefecture, and its flowering is reported each year as a sign that spring has reached Shinshū.
