Kiriishi

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

Kiriishi Station is on the Iida Line in Iida, Nagano Prefecture, 127.7 km from the line's starting point at Toyohashi, operated by JR Central. It opened on 17 December 1926 as the Kiriishi temporary stop on the Ina Electric Railway extension from Ina-Yawata to Iida. When the Ina Electric Railway line was nationalised on 1 August 1943 and became part of the Iida Line under the Ministry of Railways (later Japanese National Railways), the stop was promoted to a full station, and at JNR's privatisation on 1 April 1987 it passed to JR Central. The single side platform lies on the outside of a 160-metre-radius curve, leaving a gap between train doors and the platform edge at car-centre.

After Tagiri Station was relocated, Kiriishi inherited the distinction of standing on the sharpest curved platform anywhere on the Iida Line — its 160-metre-radius bend leaves a visible gap at car-centre doors.
