Location

History

Shin-Ainoki Station opened on 26 December 2013 on Toyama Chihō Railway's Main Line in the town of Kamiichi, Toyama Prefecture. The station was added in response to local demand and was authorised by the Hokuriku-Shin'etsu District Transport Bureau in August 2013; the provisional name Shin-Ainoki was confirmed the following month. Sitting roughly 12.1 kilometres from the line's starting point at Dentetsu-Toyama, the unattended single-platform stop occupies a location very close to the original site of Ainoki Station before it was relocated. Kamiichi paired the opening with a new station plaza, a park-and-ride lot, and a rerouting of the town's community bus, which took effect on 25 December 2013.

Notes

Shin-Ainoki stands close to where Ainoki Station stood before it was moved, making the new stop effectively a revival of the older one.
