Location

History

Miyada Station is on the JR Central Iida Line in the village of Miyada, Kamiina District, Nagano Prefecture, and sits 169.1 kilometres from the line's southern terminus at Toyohashi. It opened on 27 December 1913 as Miyata Station on the Ina Electric Tramway, becoming a through-station the following October when the line was extended to Akaho (today's Komagane). The Ina Electric Railway was nationalised on 1 August 1943, its line becoming part of the Ministry of Railways' Iida Line, and the reading of the name was officially shifted to Miyada on 15 December 1956. The station was destaffed in April 1985 and inherited by JR Central at privatisation on 1 April 1987; the current station building dates from June 1998.

Notes

The station's reading was quietly switched from "Miyata" to "Miyada" in 1956 without changing the kanji — only the official pronunciation moved.
