Location
History
Unoke Station opened on 24 April 1898 when the Nanao Railway completed its line from the Tsubata provisional station (today's Hon-Tsubata) through Nanao and on to Yatashin. Nationalisation on 1 July 1907 brought it under the Imperial Railway Agency, and the 1909 line-naming reform assigned it to the Nanao Line. Freight handling ended in April 1961, the station building was rebuilt in February 1966, and day-to-day operation was contracted out in March 1972. JR West took over at privatisation on 1 April 1987. A west-side entrance was added on 12 December 1996, and the station became part of the ICOCA fare zone on 13 March 2021.
Notes
The town around the station is the birthplace of the philosopher Kitaro Nishida, and the Ishikawa Prefectural Nishida Kitaro Museum of Philosophy stands about 25 minutes' walk southwest of the platforms.
