Location
History
Notogawa Station opened on 1 July 1889 when the railway between Sekigahara and Baba (modern Zeze) was put into service. The station, in present-day Higashiōmi, Shiga Prefecture, lies 19.8 km from Maibara and 465.7 km from Tokyo on the Biwako Line section of the Tōkaidō Main Line, and is operated by JR West. The station building straddles the platforms on an elevated walkway and serves one side and one island platform. Station numbering was introduced in March 2018 and Notogawa was assigned JR-A17. The station remains staffed.
Notes
The Higashiōmi City Notogawa Museum, the Higashiōmi City Notogawa Library and the Higashiōmi City Hall Notogawa Branch — the last of these the former Notogawa Town Hall — all stand in the area around the station.
