Location
History
Toyama Station opened on 20 March 1899 in what was then Sakuradani Village, when the government-built Hokuriku Line was extended from Takaoka; the site was chosen so as to lie beyond the reach of the then-planned Jinzū River improvement works. Once those works were complete, the station was relocated to its present site on 16 November 1908 — the same day the Toyama Line section onward to Uozu opened. The 1909 line-naming reform placed it on the Hokuriku Main Line. The station building was destroyed in the Toyama air raid of 1 August 1945; a permanent replacement was completed in 1952. JR West took over at privatisation on 1 April 1987, and on 14 March 2015 the conventional Hokuriku Main Line section through Toyama was transferred to the Ainokaze Toyama Railway with the Shinkansen extension to Kanazawa.
Notes
On 16 November 1908, the same day Toyama Station moved to its present location, the local food maker Minamoto was licensed as the station concessionaire and began selling ekiben there.
