Location

History

Matsunoodera Station opened on 20 December 1922 as part of the Obama Line section between Wakasa-Takahama and Higashi-Maizuru. During the Second World War a 6.8 km branch from the station to the Third Naval Powder Factory was laid in 1943; after the war the spur was repurposed and from 1959 it served a Nippon Sheet Glass factory, peaking at 203,000 tons of plate-glass freight in 1968. Freight handling ended in 1999. JR West transferred the original 1922 station building to Maizuru City in 2008, and after a 14-million-yen renovation it reopened in 2009 as a tourism-exchange facility. In 2018 the building was designated a national Registered Tangible Cultural Property.

Notes

The station building, in place since the line opened in 1922, was used as a location for the film Inori no Maku ga Oriru Toki, released in 2018 — the same year the building was listed as a Registered Tangible Cultural Property.
