Location
History
Kadode Station was conceived in 2019 as part of a joint development between Shimada City, JA Ōigawa, Ōigawa Railway and Central Nippon Expressway around the Shimada-Kanaya interchange on the Shin-Tōmei Expressway. The name and opening date were announced on 25 September 2020, and the station opened on 12 November 2020 alongside the KADODE OOIGAWA retail and tourism complex it directly serves. It is the first new station on the Ōigawa Main Line in 35 years, since Higiri Station in 1985. The single side platform is just 42 metres long, deliberately short so that the line's steam trains do not stop there.
Notes
At the same time that Kadode was named, the neighbouring Goka Station was renamed Gōkaku ("passing the exam") — a pun on Goka that a local community group had already been using to promote the area — and the new name is publicised as an auspicious one.
