Iwakuraji

Iwakuraji Station has a doubled origin: on 19 March 1921 it opened as Tateyama Station on the Tateyama Railway, and on 20 August the same year Toyama Prefectural Railway opened its own Iwakuraji Station nearby. The two were unified in August 1936 when Toyama Electric Railway, which had absorbed the Tateyama Railway in 1931, closed its Tateyama Station and transferred its trains into Iwakuraji. The 1943 wartime consolidation handed the whole operation to Toyama Chihō Railway. A new station building was completed in 1956, freight handling ended on 1 August 1969, and inter-operator through-ticketing was discontinued in 1985. Designated T51, the staffed three-platform, four-track station is the junction between the Tateyama and Kamidaki lines.

The two-storey wooden station building, built before the Second World War, has served as a film location, appearing as Toyama Station in Shōnen Jidai (1990) and as the late-Meiji-era Toyama Station in Tsurugidake: Ten no Ki (2009).
