Unshu-Hirata

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

Unshū-Hirata Station opened on 29 April 1914 as one of the original stops on the new Kita-Matsue Line in present-day Izumo, Shimane Prefecture, and remains operated by the private Ichibata Electric Railway. The station name was simplified to Hirata Station on 1 October 1970, but reverted to its original Unshū-Hirata form on 22 March 2005. The station has one side platform and one island platform connected by a level crossing, though most trains use the staffed side platform (Platform 1) next to the station building. It sits 10.9 km from the line's terminus at Dentetsu-Izumoshi, and Ichibata's main depot and yards adjoin the site, making it a centrepiece of the railway's day-to-day operations.

The station carried the shortened name Hirata between 1970 and 2005 before reverting to Unshū-Hirata; all services on the Kita-Matsue Line call here.
