History
Shizuma Station opened on 16 September 1926 as a new station on the Ministry of Railways San'in Main Line, on the existing section between Iwami-Ōda — now Ōdashi — and Isotake, in present-day Ōda, Shimane. The station handled both passengers and freight at opening. Freight handling ended on 15 June 1973 and parcel handling on 20 June 1977, when the station also became unstaffed. JR West inherited the station at privatisation on 1 April 1987. The wooden station building still stands; a modern barrier-free toilet block was added later, and in April 2000 the eastern half of the building, formerly the station office, was repurposed as the “Shizuma Station Hall” community space. The opposite-side island platform fell out of use in March 2001.
Notes
Six years before the station opened, a human-powered freight tramway called the Shizuma Kidō began carrying ore from two nearby mines to the Wae port for shipment; once Shizuma Station opened in 1926 the rail-freight handover supplanted the harbour route, and the tramway was abandoned around 1940.
