Kitanagano

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

Kita-Nagano Station opened on 1 September 1898 as Yoshida Station on the Japanese National Railways Shin'etsu Line. It was renamed Kita-Nagano on 1 April 1957 to avoid confusion with the nearby Nagano Electric Railway's Shinano-Yoshida Station. From 1968 it absorbed Nagano Station's freight handling, gaining a major freight yard. The station building became elevated in 1974 and was relocated under elevated tracks in 1995. With the Hokuriku Shinkansen's Kanazawa extension on 14 March 2015, passenger operation transferred to the third-sector Shinano Railway while JR Freight continues to use the yard. Suica service began on 14 March 2026, when ticket sales at the staffed window ended and the station became unstaffed.

Since the Nagano Electric Railway Yashiro Line was abandoned in April 2012, Kita-Nagano has been the terminus for shipped-rail (kōshu yusō) deliveries of rolling stock to the operator, which are then trucked to the Suzaka depot.
