Location
History
Kida Station opened on 23 January 1914, originally about 200 m west of its present location with no station building — just a platform of sleepers. It was moved to its current site about six months after opening. The station became an express stop in 1974, the platforms were lengthened in 1980, and a footbridge was completed on 16 September 1981. It was upgraded to a limited-express stop on 1 October 2001, lost that status on 29 June 2008, and was reinstated as a limited-express stop on 27 December 2008. Tranpass was introduced on 14 July 2005, the south building was completed on 1 December 2010, and the manaca IC card on 11 February 2011. A station-building rebuild was completed on 30 November 2018, and the station became fully unstaffed on 23 December 2023.
Notes
Kida is the only station in the former Miwa Town section of Ama City (in the former Ama District), in central Miwa, and is one of the two representative Ama City stations alongside Jimokuji; all passenger trains stop here. Until 22 December 2023 it was staffed all day, with staff at the north gate; the centralised station management system is administered from Sukaguchi. The station retained its original 1914 building until the 2018 rebuild. There are two ticket gates, north and south, each with a manaca-compatible ticket machine and a fare-adjustment machine. The platforms are connected by a footbridge. The Tsushima-direction platform accommodates six cars, and the Nagoya-direction platform eight.
