Shinano-kokubunji

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

Shinano-Kokubunji Station opened on 29 March 2002 as the second new station added to the Shinano Railway Line, following Yashiro-Kōkō-mae. The project had originated in a local lobbying campaign begun in 1991 under the working name "Kokubu New Station," with alternative naming proposals including "Shinano-Kokubunji" and "Yōkadō." From 13 March 2004 the station became a stop for the "Shinano Sunrise" rapid commuter service. The station was destaffed on 1 April 2022, and Suica integrated-circuit card acceptance went live on 14 March 2026, served through a simple Suica ticket gate.

Each year on 7–8 January the nearby Shinano Kokubun-ji temple holds its Yōkadō fair, which has little parking nearby and badly congests the surrounding roads; worshippers are accordingly urged to travel to it by train and use Shinano-Kokubunji Station.
