Nishi-Tomioka

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

Nishi-Tomioka Station opened on 15 October 1937 as Byōinmae Station ("in front of the hospital") on the Jōshin Line in what is now the Nanokaichi district of Tomioka, Gunma Prefecture. Operations were suspended on 1 September 1951 and the station reopened under its present name on 15 January 1953. The present station building was completed in 1960, and the stop became an entrusted (itaku) station in 1968. It is a ground-level station with a single side platform and a wooden station building.

The station was originally named Byōinmae — literally "in front of the hospital" — and was renamed Nishi-Tomioka in 1953, when service resumed after the suspension that had begun in September 1951; Nanokaichi Hospital still stands near the station.
