Location

History

Tsukioka Station opened on 25 April 1921 as a station of the Toyama Prefectural Railway. It passed to Toyama Chihō Railway on 1 January 1943, freight handling ended on 11 May 1968, the station became unstaffed on 25 December 1977, and CTC operation was introduced on 1 November 1984.

Notes

Tsukioka has a wooden station building, and trains were at one time scheduled to turn back here on the Kamidaki Line; trains passing at the station run on the right-hand track. The Tsukioka district is populous, but the station sits about 2 km from its centre, which keeps regular use light. The station also appears in the climactic scene of the Japanese film RAILWAYS: Ai o Tsutaerarenai Otonatachi e, which is set on the Toyama Chihō Railway.
