Location

History

Sekiterasu-mae Station opened on 11 December 1986 with the third-sector transfer of the JNR Etsumi-Nan Line to the Nagaragawa Railway, under the original name Hamonokaikan-mae — "in front of the Cutlery Hall" — as a petitioned station. It was renamed Sekiterasu-mae on 12 March 2022, taking the name of the neighbouring "Sekiterasu" facility. The station carries number 6.

Notes

The station is a single-platform unstaffed halt with a bench in the middle of the platform. It can be entered from both the Sekiguchi-side and Seki-side ends. The platform sits on the left looking toward Hokunō, which is the opposite side of the tracks from the Sekiterasu complex and the Feather Museum (inside Feather Safety Razor's Seki plant). A large shopping centre with a cinema lies some way to the southwest of the station, though closer than Seki Station is.
