Shirai-Kaigan

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

Shiraikaigan Station opened on 22 December 1984 as a stop on Sanriku Railway's then-new Kita-Rias Line, established to compensate for the contraction of local bus services after the line came into operation. At first only four of the line's 27 daily trains called here, making it the only station on the Kita-Rias Line that scheduled trains were timetabled to pass without stopping. Service was suspended after the 11 March 2011 earthquake and tsunami and was restored on 1 April 2012 when the Rikuchū-Noda to Tanohata section reopened. On 23 March 2019 the unified Rias Line absorbed the station as an intermediate stop. The platform sits between two tunnels, with no station building.

The platform is sandwiched between two tunnels, and there is no station building, waiting room or ticket gate; the public telephone box beside the platform still stands although its handset has been removed. A toilet stands in front of the station.
