Location

History

Tokimata Station opened on 26 December 1927 when the Ina Electric Railway extended from Tenryūkyō to Dashina, as a general station in what is now Iida, Nagano Prefecture. The line was nationalised on 1 August 1943 as part of the Iida Line, bringing the station under the Ministry of Railways, the predecessor of Japanese National Railways. Parcel handling ended in December 1971, dedicated-line freight in December 1974, and the station was made unstaffed in February 1984 with the introduction of CTC operation on the southern Iida Line. After privatisation of JNR on 1 April 1987 it came under JR Central. In April 2001 the track layout was rearranged as part of a Tenryū River flood-control project, and the station building was rebuilt in 2009.

Notes

The station sits next to the Tenryū River pier for the Tenryū-kudari river tour, where passengers disembark after the boat ride downstream.
