Nishi-Kiryu

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

Nishi-Kiryū Station opened on 10 November 1928 as the eastern terminus of the Jōmō Electric Railway's Jōmō Line. On 21 September 1992 the station began selling express tickets for the Tobu Railway's Ryōmō express service. In 1998 it was named one of the "100 Stations of the Kantō Region." On 26 December 2005 both the station building and the platform canopy were registered as Registered Tangible Cultural Properties of Japan, and in 2016 the building was further recognised as a Japan Society of Civil Engineers Selected Civil Engineering Heritage as part of the Jōmō Electric Railway group of related facilities.

The station's wooden building, in use since 1928, is a Western-style structure with a mansard roof — though the duty room is a Japanese tatami room and the adjacent kitchen has a packed-earth doma floor, making the whole an east-west hybrid. The Kantō Stations selection committee cited it as "a station building in the weaving town of Kiryū that has survived since its opening and where one can experience weaving."
