Nishi-Tsubame

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

Nishi-Tsubame Station opened on 25 December 1954 as a passenger-only stop on the Japanese National Railways' Yahiko Line, slotted in between Nishi-Yoshida (now Yoshida) and Tsubame. Control passed to JR East at the JNR breakup on 1 April 1987, and Suica acceptance began on 15 March 2008. The single side platform faces the station building, which stands on the east side, and stretches to nine-car length, far longer than the up-to-six-car trains that currently use the Yahiko Line. The station is unstaffed under the management of Tsubame-Sanjō Station, with a simple Suica reader and a boarding-certificate machine.
