Location

History

Nishi-Ōte Station opened on 8 August 1916 with the inauguration of the Iga Kidō line between Ueno-eki Renrakusho (now Iga-Ueno) and Uenomachi (now Uenoshi), in present-day Iga, Mie Prefecture. Through a succession of mergers and transfers — Iga Tetsudō, Iga Denki Tetsudō, Daiki, Sangū Kyūkō and Kansai Kyūkō — the line was absorbed into Kintetsu on 1 June 1944. Freight operations ended in October 1973. The station has been unstaffed since 15 March 2000, and on 1 October 2007 it passed with the Iga Line to the present Iga Railway. It has a single side platform with no turnouts, used by trains in both directions.

Notes

The station fronts the old commercial district of Ueno, where shopfronts dating from before the Pacific War still line the road approaches.
