Location

History

Komoro Station opened on 1 December 1888 as a government-built railway station, and is today jointly used by Shinano Railway and JR East. Until 1997 it sat on the Shin'etsu Main Line; the opening of the Nagano Shinkansen on 1 October 1997 led the parallel Karuizawa–Shinonoi section to be transferred to the third-sector Shinano Railway, which now manages the station. JR East's Koumi Line terminates here after 78.9 km from Kobuchizawa. Three elevators entered service on 17 March 2018, completing the barrier-free upgrade of the station's footbridge. From 14 March 2026, Suica became usable on the Shinano Railway portion.

Notes

Between 1926 and 1936 the station was also served by the short-lived Nunobiki Electric Railway, which opened on 1 December 1926 and was formally abolished on 28 October 1936, less than ten years later.
