Inamatsushima

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

Ina-Matsushima Station opened on 28 December 1909 as Matsushima Station, the terminus of the Ina Densha Kidō (later Ina Denki Tetsudō) line opened that day between Tatsuno — later Nishimachi — and the station; it became an intermediate stop when the line was extended to Kinoshita on 22 February 1911. The station was renamed Ina-Matsushima on 16 March 1923 and incorporated into the Iida Line when the Ina Electric Railway was nationalised on 1 August 1943. Following the privatisation of JNR on 1 April 1987 it came under JR Central control, and the current station building was completed in 1992. From 1 April 2013 station duties have been handled by the town of Minowa as a simplified contracted station.

Although the station is the principal station for the town of Minowa, the town was not formed until 1955 — long after the station opened, which is why the historical place name "Matsushima" survives in the station name.
