Namezu Station (滑津駅, Namezu-eki) is a train station in the city of Saku, Nagano, Japan, operated by East Japan Railway Company (JR East).^[1]

Lines

Namezu Station is served by the Koumi Line and is 66.5 kilometers from the terminus of the line at Kobuchizawa Station.^[1]

Station layout

The station consists of one ground-level side platform serving a single bi-directional track. The platform is short, and can only accommodate trains of two carriages in length, therefore a door cut system is used. The station is unattended.^[1]

History

Namezu Station opened on 6 June 1916. The station was out of operation from 1944 through 1952. With the dissolution and privatization of JNR on April 1, 1987, the station came under the control of the East Japan Railway Company (JR East).^[1]
