History edit
Nanjō Station opened on 15 July 1896 as Sabanami Station (鯖波駅). It was renamed to its present name on 1 April 1973. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR) on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR West.
Effective the 16 March 2024 timetable revision, this station was transferred to the Hapi-Line Fukui Line due to the opening of the western extension of the Hokuriku Shinkansen from Kanazawa to Tsuruga.[1]
Passenger statistics edit
In fiscal 2016, the station was used by an average of 348 passengers daily (boarding passengers only).[2]
