Location

History

Kubiki Station opened on 22 March 1997 with the inauguration of the third-sector Hokuetsu Express Hokuhoku Line. The station is sited 53.6 km from the Muikamachi end of the line in what was then the village of Kubiki, now a ward of the city of Jōetsu. Built as an elevated structure with two side platforms and a distinctive half-egg-shaped dome station building designed by the architect Kikō Mozuna, it has been unstaffed from opening. A daily-average ridership of 85 passengers was recorded in fiscal 2015.

Notes

The half-egg-shaped dome on the south side of the elevated structure, which houses the station building, was designed by the architect Kikō Mozuna.
