History

Kintetsu-Nagashima Station opened on 26 June 1938 as Kankyū-Nagashima Station on the newly built Kansai Express Electric Railway between Kuwana and what is now Kintetsu Nagoya. Through a sequence of wartime mergers it was renamed Sangū-Nagashima in 1940, Kankyū-Nagashima again in 1941, Kinki Nippon Nagashima in 1944, and finally shortened to its present name on 1 March 1970. The station sits in Kuwana, Mie Prefecture, on the Kintetsu Nagoya Line and is the line's easternmost and northernmost station in Mie; crossing the Kisogawa to the east enters Aichi. PiTaPa contactless ticketing began on 1 April 2007, and since 3 November 2011 some express trains have made seasonal stops here on weekends and holidays during the Nabana no Sato winter illuminations.

Notes

Some express trains make seasonal stops at Kintetsu-Nagashima only during the Nabana no Sato winter illumination period, when a special bus links the station with the garden — a joint arrangement between Kintetsu, Mie Kōtsū Bus and the site's operator, Nagashima Kankō Kaihatsu, intended to encourage public-transport use and ease road congestion.
