History
Nonoichi Station opened on 25 March 1968 as the second-generation Nonoichi (Nonoichi Town having funded ¥30 million of the ¥45 million construction cost, with another ¥15 million from local contributions) between Mattō and Nishi-Kanazawa on the JNR Hokuriku Main Line. From 1 October 1971 the station became unstaffed. With JNR privatisation on 1 April 1987 it passed to JR West, and JR staff were placed at the station in December that year. On 9 April 1997 the Nonoichi North Plaza was completed and station duties were contracted out to Nonoichi Town, whose Silver Human Resources Center members were posted at the north entrance; the same arrangement was extended to the south entrance in 2003. A new south station building was brought into service on 21 April 2012 after a temporary structure had been used from 4 September 2010, ICOCA became available on 15 April 2017, and the station became fully unstaffed throughout the day on 1 April 2021. On 16 March 2024 the station passed to IR Ishikawa Railway as a result of the Hokuriku Shinkansen extension from Kanazawa to Tsuruga.
Notes
Despite its name, Nonoichi Station sits roughly 2 km north-west of central Nonoichi City near the boundary with Hakusan City. A separate but identically-named Nonoichi Station on the Hokuriku Railroad Ishikawa Line is located about 2 km south-east.
