Location
History
Shikinami Station opened on 24 April 1898 as a general station on the Nanao Railway between the Tsubata provisional stop (forerunner of Hon-Tsubata) and the Yatashin terminus (later Nanao-kō). The Nanao Railway was nationalised on 1 July 1907 and the line was named the Nanao Line on 12 October 1909. Freight handling ended on 1 August 1960; parcel handling and full staffing ended in March 1972, when the station was reduced to simple-commission operation. JR West took over the station at the 1 April 1987 JNR privatisation. The west entrance was opened on 5 February 2013, and ICOCA acceptance began on 13 March 2021.
Notes
Although Shikinami was the only station in the former town of Shio (now part of Hōdatsushimizu), the town centre actually sits closer to neighbouring Minami-Hakui as the crow flies.
