History

Shimonogō Station opened on 17 June 1921 as a stop on the Kawanishi Line of the Ueda Onsen Electric Tramway, the predecessor of today's Ueda Electric Railway. From 1926 to 1963 it was also the terminus of the Yodakubo Line, later renamed the Nishi-Maruko Line, which the same company operated. A merger in 1943 placed the station under Ueda-Maruko Electric Railway; the operator was renamed Ueda Kōtsū in 1969, and in 2005 the rail business was spun off as the present Ueda Electric Railway. The station has one island platform serving two tracks. Station numbering took effect in August 2016, with Shimonogō assigned BE09.

Notes

The Ueda Electric Railway has its registered head office located on the station premises, and the site also houses the line's only depot.
