History
Komaiko Station traces its origins to a seasonal flag-stop opened on 11 July 1903 (some sources give 20 June) on the state-railway Hokuriku Line, operating only during the summer bathing season at the nearby beach. It became a year-round passenger station on 10 April 1964, with a new building 150 m toward the Nomi-Negami end of the platform; ticket-window staffing had been outsourced from July 1963. The station was destaffed on 1 October 1971, passed to JR West at the 1987 JNR privatisation, gained ICOCA service on 15 April 2017, and transferred to the IR Ishikawa Railway on 16 March 2024 with the Hokuriku Shinkansen's Tsuruga extension.
Notes
The station is named after Komaiko Beach, a Hundred Best Beaches of Japan site whose scenery was likened to that of Maiko Beach in Kobe — "Ko-Maiko" meaning "Little Maiko".
