Kinunobebashi

Departure data for this station is not available on this site.

Kinunobebashi Station opened on 13 April 1913. The on-site Kinunobebashi rolling-stock depot was abolished on 25 January 1966 when the new Hirano depot was completed, and the platforms were extended to three-car length on 3 December 1966. The line was double-tracked through the station on 30 November 1967 with associated improvements. A separate ticket gate was added on the down-side platform on 21 May 2022, eliminating the internal level crossing between platforms. The station has two opposed side platforms each with a six-car effective length, though only four-car trains stop today.

The station name comes from "Kinu-nobe-bashi" — the bridge nearby — which itself recalls the legend of weaving women who, having migrated from Wu in 272 (the third year of Emperor Ōjin), washed their woven cloth in the clear water of the Inagawa beside the station and dried it on the riverbank. That reach of riverbank became known as the "Kinu-nobe Riverbank" and the name later passed into use as a place name; the bridge that gave its name to the station was replaced with a new span on 6 July 2010 during works to widen the river and raise its embankments.
