Location
History
Naoetsu Station opened on 15 August 1886 with the inauguration of national-railway service between Sekiyama and Naoetsu. The station was relocated to its present site on 1 August 1898 and rebuilt in 1940. JR East and JR West took joint control on 1 April 1987 at JNR privatisation. From 14 March 2015, with the opening of the Hokuriku Shinkansen extension from Nagano to Kanazawa, parallel conventional lines were transferred to the third-sector Echigo Tokimeki Railway, and Naoetsu became the boundary station between the Myōkō Haneuma Line (former JR East Shinetsu Main Line) and the Nihonkai Hisui Line (former JR West Hokuriku Main Line). The current cruise-ship-style station building dates from 2000.
Notes
The current station building, opened in 2000, was designed to resemble a luxury cruise ship in keeping with Naoetsu's port-town character.
