Matsuba

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

Matsuba Station is on the Akita Nairiku Jūkan Railway's Nairiku Line in Semboku, Akita Prefecture, 75.0 kilometres from the terminus at Takanosu. It opened on 1 November 1970 as the terminus of the Japanese National Railways Kakunodate Line, serving what was then the village of Nishiki. With privatisation on 1 November 1986 the line passed to the Akita Nairiku Jūkan Railway as the Akita Nairiku Minami Line, with Matsuba still terminal. On 1 April 1989 the railway opened the connecting section from Hitachinai through to Matsuba, unifying the route as the Nairiku Line and making the station a through stop. The station building was renewed in July 2022 to a design by four Akita University of Art students.

Although a sign at the station proclaims it "the station closest to Lake Tazawa," the lake actually sits about 3.7 kilometres away in a straight line and roughly six kilometres by road.
