Takanosu (Akita Nairiku)

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

Takanosu Station is the terminus of the Akita Nairiku Jūkan Railway's Akita Nairiku Line in Kitaakita, Akita Prefecture, sharing a yard with JR East's Takanosu Station on the Ōu Main Line. It was created when the JNR Aniai Line was transferred to the third-sector Akita Nairiku Jūkan Railway on 1 November 1986. On 1 April 1989 — coinciding with the full opening of the Akita Nairiku Line — the third-sector station was renamed Takanosu Station, written 鷹巣駅, the spelling used by Takanosu Town before its merger into Kitaakita, while the JR station kept the older 鷹ノ巣 form. The third-sector station has a single bay platform on the Akita end of JR's platform 1 and a staffed ticket window with travel-centre services.

JR East and the Akita Nairiku Jūkan Railway share track at Takanosu, but moving a train between the two networks still requires hand-throwing switches and about 30 minutes of operating time; an automated junction would cost an estimated 160 million yen and is still under debate.
