Toyosaka

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

Toyosaka Station opened on 23 December 1952 with the first section of the Hakushin Line between Shibata and the present site. Its original name, Kuzutsuka, came from the local municipality. The line was completed end-to-end on 15 April 1956, and the station was renamed to its present form on 1 April 1976. It passed to JR East at the 1 April 1987 privatisation. From the timetable revision of 22 March 1997, selected Inaho limited-express trains began stopping here. A temporary building opened on 4 December 2004 to support the rebuild, with automatic ticket gates installed at the same time, and the new elevated station building entered service on 25 March 2006, when a north entrance was added. Ticket-gate duties were contracted out to JR Niigata Business on 1 July 2018, ending the station's status as a directly operated station.

The internal free passage is open to cyclists, and houses a convenience store run by a Niigata-city third-sector firm; outside the winter months, the same outlet hands out free rental bicycles.
