Yashiro

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

Yashiro Station opened on 15 August 1888 between Nagano and Ueda as a station on the government-operated railway in what is today Chikuma, Nagano Prefecture; regular service began the following 15 September. Following the 1909 line-naming reforms it became part of the Shin'etsu Main Line, and Nagano Electric Railway's Yashiro Line connected here from 10 June 1922 until its closure on 1 April 2012. The JNR privatisation of 1 April 1987 placed the JR services here under JR East and JR Freight. Following the Hokuriku Shinkansen-driven separation of the Karuizawa-Shinonoi corridor, passenger duties transferred to the third-sector Shinano Railway.

Yashiro was a regular stop for some of the Shin'etsu Main Line's Asama limited-express trains during the JNR era.
