Location

History

Jingūji Station opened on 21 August 1904 as a Japanese Government Railways station serving the town of Jingūji in Senboku District, in what is now Daisen, Akita Prefecture. It became part of Japanese National Railways after the Second World War and passed to JR East at the JNR privatisation on 1 April 1987. The station sits 253.0 rail kilometres along the Ōu Main Line from Fukushima and its Platform 1 track is dual gauge, used by through Akita Shinkansen services. A replacement station building shared with Daisen city facilities was built in 2008: work began on 20 May, the new building was completed on 30 June, and a completion ceremony was held on 21 July.

Notes

Platform 1 is a three-rail dual-gauge track shared by Akita Shinkansen down services and conventional trains, while Akita Shinkansen non-stop services use a separate standard-gauge through line with no platform.
