Location

History

Niida Station opened on 1 July 1988 on the Abukuma Express Line in Date, Fukushima Prefecture. Located 15.4 km from the Fukushima terminus, it serves a suburban agricultural district where rice paddies dominate the surrounding landscape. The station has two opposed side platforms connected by a level crossing and no station building, and is unattended. Daily boarding traffic is light; in fiscal 2015 it averaged 38 passengers a day. The station's catchphrase is "village of strawberries and fruit." Niida sits between Ōizumi and Nitta on the line.

Notes

Niida shares its Japanese pronunciation with several other stations – the Niida on the now-defunct Niigata Kōtsū electric railway line closed in 1993, and the freight-only Niida on the JNR Chikuhō Main Line shut in 1969.
