Shinano-Omachi

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

Shinano-Omachi Station opened on 5 July 1916 when the privately built Shinano Railway (unrelated to today's namesake third-sector firm) brought its line from Matsumoto into Omachi, Nagano Prefecture, with substantial financial and land support from the town. The route was electrified on 8 January 1926 and nationalised on 1 June 1937 as the Oito South Line. The full Oito Line was completed on 15 August 1957. From 26 April 1971 the limited-express Azusa began calling here, and the Tateyama-Kurobe Alpine Route from Omachi opened that same June. Privatisation in 1987 placed the station under JR East.

The Ōito Line takes its name from one kanji each in Ōmachi and Itoigawa, the two endpoint stations of the state-built route that became the line.
