Location
History
Kyōgase Station is on JR East's Uetsu Main Line in Agano, Niigata Prefecture. It opened on 30 September 1943 as Kyōgase Signal Stop and was promoted to a full station on 1 April 1962. The station was unstaffed from 1 September 1972, came under JR East at privatisation on 1 April 1987, and gained Suica on 15 March 2008. Track 1, alongside the north-side station building, handles trains in both directions when no crossing of trains is scheduled; no regular train has used track 2 since March 2007. The north exit's plaza, parking and bike racks were laid out in 2006–2007 as a new-city project after Kyōgase Village merged into the new Agano City.
Notes
Although Kyōgase Station carries the former village's name, the village's centre and former office sit about 3 km north of the station along National Route 49 — not within the surrounding farmland-and-housing district that the station serves.
