Mitsuoka

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

Mitsuoka Station opened on 14 April 1925 on the Saku Railway in what is today Komoro, Nagano Prefecture. The line had reached the area on 8 August 1915 with two nearby stations - Tsuchihashi toward Komoro and Ichimura toward Nakagomi - but local petitioning and pooled contributions merged them into the relocated Mitsuoka. The Saku Railway was nationalised on 1 September 1934 and absorbed into the Koumi North Line (later the Koumi Line). The station became contracted-management on 22 March 1981, lost freight on 15 July 1982 and parcel handling on 1 February 1984, passed to JR East on 1 April 1987, was un-staffed on 1 April 1991, and a replacement station building opened around November 2002.

Local tradition holds that the cherry-tree embankment between the station and the prefectural road on its east side was raised deliberately to obstruct access to the station from the side of the village that had been reluctant to contribute to the construction costs.
