Nanakubo

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

Nanakubo Station opened on 23 July 1918 as the terminus of the Ina Electric Tramway's extension from Iijima in Kamiina District, Nagano Prefecture. The station became an intermediate stop on 12 December 1918 when the line was extended further toward what is now Takatōbara. In 1943 the Ina Electric Railway lines were nationalised as part of the Iida Line and the station passed to Japanese Government Railways. With JNR's privatisation on 1 April 1987 the station came under both JR Central (passenger) and JR Freight. It was destaffed on 31 March 1994, and JR Freight's freight handling was formally discontinued on 1 April 2002.

Until March 1996 a private siding branched off south-westward from Nanakubo Station to the Nippon Oil Ina fuel depot; tank cars of petroleum dispatched from Shiomi-chō Station arrived there several times a week, about two wagons at a time. The spur was abandoned when the depot closed.
