Nishi-Gobo

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

Nishi-Gobō Station opened on 10 April 1932 as Matsubaraguchi Station (松原口駅) on what is today the Kishū Railway. It was renamed to its present name only a few days later, in April 1932. A dedicated freight siding to the nearby Daiwa Boseki textile mill was added on 15 June 1955 and remained in operation until 26 June 1984. The line beyond the station, to Hidakagawa Station, was abandoned on 1 April 1989, leaving Nishi-Gobō as the terminus of the surviving 2.7 km Kishū Railway Line. The ticket window's hours were progressively reduced through 2018, and on 27 August 2018 the station became completely unstaffed.

A rotating ticket-storage box used at the station until July 2003 was preserved by the Railway Museum in Saitama, an unusual survival from a small private terminus.
