History

Shiraki Station opened on 23 July 1929 with the opening of the Shima Electric Railway's Toba–Shinjukō section. It passed to the wartime Mie Kōtsū on 11 February 1944, to the spin-off Mie Electric Railway on 1 February 1964, and to Kintetsu by merger on 1 April 1965. Service was suspended in December 1969 for line improvement work; on 1 March 1970 the rebuilt station reopened on a new 1,435 mm-gauge alignment about 100 m toward Toba from its original site. The Kamo–Gochi section was double-tracked on 11 September 1993, the stretch beyond Shiraki being switched to a new alignment through the Aomine Tunnel. The stop has been unattended round the clock since 21 February 2005, and PiTaPa acceptance began on 1 August 2015. Shiraki is the only intermediate Shima Line station with passing tracks.

Notes

Shiraki is the only intermediate stop on the Shima Line able to hold a train for an overtaking service: the two central through-tracks (2 and 3) are the main line, along which limited expresses pass, while the platform-served outer tracks (1 and 4) are the subsidiary tracks used by stopping trains.
