Location

History

Shinano-Sakai Station opened on 1 November 1928 in the village of Sakai, Fujimi, Suwa District, Nagano Prefecture, on the Chūō Main Line. The unattended stop lies 178.2 kilometres from the line's terminus at Tokyo Station and has two unnumbered opposed side platforms connected by a footbridge. With the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987 the station passed to JR East. Station numbering was introduced on the line from February 2025, assigning it CO52. In fiscal 2015 the station was used by an average of 166 boarding passengers per day.

Notes

The unstaffed station stands at an elevation of 921.4 metres in the Sakai area of the town of Fujimi, where the Sakai post office and Fujimi Minami Middle School are among the few landmarks nearby.
