Location

History

Yagisawa Station opened on 17 June 1921 as part of the Kawanishi Line of the Ueda Onsen Electric Tramway, predecessor of today's Ueda Electric Railway, in present-day Ueda, Nagano. The line was renamed the Bessho Line in 1939; the operator became Ueda-Maruko Electric Railway by merger in 1943, was renamed Ueda Kōtsū in 1969, and became Ueda Electric Railway in 2005 when the rail division was spun off as a subsidiary. Station numbering took effect in August 2016, when Yagisawa was assigned the code BE14. The single-platform stop was formerly staffed but is now unstaffed; land for a future passing loop has been reserved but never built.

Notes

The station stood in for the fictional "Kisaragi Station" in the 2022 film Kisaragi Station, and its sign carries an illustration of railway-mascot character "Yagisawa Mai," named after this station and adjacent Maita.
