Location

History

Kamiichi Station opened on 15 August 1931 as Kamiichiguchi Station when the Toyama Electric Railway extended its line from Toyama-Denjigata. A further extension on 7 November 1931 to the original Kamiichi Station made the reversal a chronic operational headache, so on 11 November 1943 the link between Kamiichiguchi and the original terminus was closed and the surviving stop took the name Kamiichi. A region-wide railway merger had already placed the line under the Toyama Chihō Railway Main Line on 1 January 1943. The present two-storey station building was completed on 23 November 1972, and an underground bicycle park plus pedestrian subway opened on 8 December 1992. Trains still reverse direction at Kamiichi today.

Notes

Kamiichi's bay platforms are numbered out of order: two platform faces serve three tracks, with the southernmost single-face platform numbered track 2, the centre track 1, and the northernmost track 3.
