Sendaira

Departure data for this station is not available on this site.

Sendaira Station serves the city of Tomioka in Gunma Prefecture and is operated by Jōshin Dentetsu on its Jōshin Line, 29.9 kilometres from the Takasaki terminus. It opened on 18 August 1911 and has been in service since. The station has a single side platform with only a shelter, and is unattended. It sits in an isolated rural area of mostly private houses, with a simple post office nearby; crossing the Kabura River brings one out onto National Route 254, where the Shimonita roadside station and scattered shops stand. The Jōshin Line runs across the plain alongside National Route 254 from Yoshii as far as Nanjai, after which it leaves the highway and climbs through steep mountains to the terminus at Shimonita.

When the line first opened in the Meiji era, Shimonita's silkworm farmers feared steam-locomotive soot would harm sericulture, so the railway was deliberately routed through the mountains rather than following the line of National Route 254; brick tunnels used in the light-railway era and later abandoned still stand on the hillside between Sendaira and Shimonita.
