• Takayama Line: Toyama ⇄ Fuchu-Usaka

Nishi-Toyama Station opened on 1 September 1927 as a general station on the Hietsu Line of the Railway Ministry, serving the newly opened Toyama–Etchū-Yatsuo section. The line was reorganised into the Takayama Main Line in 1934, bringing the station with it. Freight and parcel operations were progressively scaled back from the 1960s onward, and the station was unstaffed and its ticket gates removed in March 1996 when scheduled freight handling was suspended. With the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987, the station came under JR West (with JR Freight handling cargo). It is a two-platform ground-level station with a wooden station building located in Toyama City.

Disused freight sidings once served a Sumitomo Cement service station and a Nippon Alcohol Sales storage depot, both of which were severed in March 1996 when scheduled wagon-load freight handling ended and the station's freight facilities were removed. A siding to the Kureha Steel works had also connected here in earlier decades.
