History

Nojiri Station, on JR Central's Chūō Main Line in the village of Ōkuwa in Nagano Prefecture, opened on 1 September 1909 as the terminus of a state-railway extension from Mitsuno (today's Nagiso). The line continued onward to Suhara on 1 December 1909, demoting Nojiri to an intermediate station. Freight handling ended in November 1972 and parcel handling in February 1984; the station became simplified-commission unmanned in March 1985. With JNR's privatisation on 1 April 1987 it joined JR Tōkai. The station retains its 1909 wooden building, with one side platform and one island platform connected by a footbridge.

Notes

The wooden station building dates from the 1909 opening and has remained in continuous use through state-railway, JNR, and JR Central eras.
