History
Kiga Station opened on 1 April 1938 as a station on the Japan National Railways Futamata Line, serving Hosoe Town in present-day Hamana-ku, Hamamatsu. Scheduled freight services were discontinued in June 1970. On 15 March 1987, when the Futamata Line was converted to third-sector operation, the station was transferred to the Tenryū Hamanako Railroad and now sits at 44.8 kilometers from the line origin at Kakegawa. The station retains a single-story wooden building alongside an island platform with only one of its two tracks in regular service. The station building, goods shed, platform and viaduct have been registered as Tangible Cultural Properties of Japan since 2011.
Notes
The wooden station building doubles as a ramen restaurant, accessed by a level crossing from the platform.
