History

Minami-Toyoshina Station opened on 14 April 1926 as a passenger-only stop on the privately built Shinano Railway in what is now Azumino, Nagano Prefecture. The line was nationalised on 1 June 1937, and on 15 August 1957 the through-completion of the Nakatsuchi–Kotaki section saw the route renamed the Ōito Line. The station became a business-commission stop in 1963 and stopped handling parcel traffic in 1984. JR East took over at the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987, and a new station building was completed in 2015. In March 2025 the station joined the Tokyo metropolitan IC-card zone, with Suica usable from the 15th.

Notes

Although the station building is small, it serves as the closest stop to both Nagano Prefectural Toyoshina High School and Minami-Azumi Agricultural High School, giving it a student-heavy ridership profile.
