History

Shinshū-Nakano Station opened on 26 March 1923 on what is now the Nagano Electric Railway Nagano Line. The level crossing inside the station was abolished in March 1974 with the installation of a footbridge, and freight operations ended in April 1979. The station was rebuilt with an elevated station building in October 1989. On 1 April 2002 the Kijima section of the Kawatō Line was abolished, making the station its new terminus, and in September 2002 the Kawatō Line between Suzaka and Shinshū-Nakano and the Yamanouchi Line between Shinshū-Nakano and Yudanaka were renamed and merged into the Nagano Line. From April 2012 most local trains required a change at this station; from 13 March 2021 some through-running resumed with the introduction of 3000-series stock. The station has three island/side platforms serving four tracks and is staffed; the now-disused platform once used by Kijima Line trains remains barricaded.

Notes

After the former Kijima Line was abolished, the passage to platform 1, which had been used for its trains, was closed off with a barricade and remains off-limits today.
