Location

History

Nishidai Station opened on 11 July 1913 as a stop on the Japanese Government Railways line that became the Mooka Line. The station passed to the Japanese National Railways and then to JR East at the 1987 privatisation, before being transferred to the third-sector Mooka Railway on 11 April 1988, which operates it today. Originally a staffed crossing point, the station saw its passing loop dismantled in 1958, lost its freight handling in 1963, and was made unstaffed in 1970. The exchange siding was restored in 1993, and a new station building replaced the older structure in March 1998.

Notes

Part of the Motegi-bound platform is covered by a wooden roof.
