Location
History
Samizo Station opened on 10 May 1922 as a stop on the Tsukama Railway in what is now Matsumoto, Nagano Prefecture, on the line that became today's Kamikōchi Line. Successive corporate renamings led to its current operation by Alpico Kōtsū from 1 April 2011. The station consists of a single ground-level side platform with a waiting room but no station building. It sits 7.6 kilometres from the line's terminus at Matsumoto Station and is unstaffed. The station name sign on the platform carries a design referencing the famous weeping cherry of nearby Anyō-ji temple.
Notes
The platform name sign features a design based on the weeping cherry tree of nearby Anyō-ji temple, locally famous for spring blooms.
