Nishi-Kawada

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

Nishi-Kawada Station opened on 11 August 1931 when Tobu Railway brought the Utsunomiya Line into service, in what is today the Nishi-Kawada district of Utsunomiya, Tochigi Prefecture. The Tobu Ōya Line branched from the station from 27 December 1931, when its Nishi-Kawada to Shin-Tsuruta section opened, and lasted until the whole Ōya Line was abolished on 16 June 1964. The platform has been kept unusually broad to handle race-day crowds for the former Utsunomiya Racecourse, which closed in 2005, and visitors to the Tochigi Prefectural Sports Park. The station took the number TN-37 when Tobu introduced its line-network codes on 17 March 2012.

During the 2022 National Sports Festival hosted by Tochigi, an autonomous-driving shuttle bus operated between Nishi-Kawada Station and the prefectural sports park.
