Izumo Taisha-mae

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

Izumo-taishamae Station opened on 2 February 1930 as Taisha-Shinmon Station when the Ichibata Electric Railway's Taisha Line opened between Kawato Station and this station. It was given its present name on 1 October 1970, and on 20 December 1996 its Western-style reinforced-concrete station building was registered as a national Registered Tangible Cultural Property. It was also certified as a Heritage of Industrial Modernization on 6 February 2009. On 1 April 2006, when Ichibata Electric Railway (Ichibata Denki Tetsudō) shifted to a holding-company structure, the newly established operating company Ichibata Densha took over the railway business. It is a ground-level station with a bay platform serving two tracks, and a Dehani 50 series railcar used in the film RAILWAYS is preserved on static display in the station yard. It is the nearest station to Izumo-taisha (Izumo Grand Shrine), it carries station number 26, and it is staffed under an outsourced-operation contract.

The station building is said to have been deliberately built in Western style as a contrast to the Japanese-style architecture of the older Taisha Station, which had already opened before this station.
