Iiyama Station (飯山駅, Iiyama-eki) is a railway station on the Iiyama Line in the city of Iiyama, Nagano Prefecture, Japan, operated by East Japan Railway Company (JR East). Since 14 March 2015, it is also a stop on the high-speed Hokuriku Shinkansen line from Tokyo to Kanazawa.
Lines
[edit]Iiyama Station is served by the Iiyama Line, and is 19.2 kilometers from the starting point of the line at Toyono Station. From 14 March 2015, it also became a stop on the high-speed Hokuriku Shinkansen line from Tokyo to Kanazawa, located 147.3 km from the official starting point of the line at Takasaki.[1] Iiyama is served by Hakutaka services operating between Tokyo and Kanazawa, although not all trains will stop at Iiyama.[2]
Station layout
[edit]The new station structure built to coincide with the opening of the Hokuriku Shinkansen extension lies approximately 300 m (980 ft) to the south of the site of the original station.[1] The elevated Shinkansen platforms cross the ground-level Iiyama Line platforms at an angle.[1] The station has a "Midori no Madoguchi" staffed ticket office.
Platforms
[edit]The Iiyama Line is served by a ground-level island platform with tracks on either side.
| 1 | ■ Iiyama Line | for Toyono and Nagano |
| 2 | ■ Iiyama Line | for Togarinozawa-Onsen, Tōkamachi and Echigo-Kawaguchi |
The Shinkansen platforms consist of two 312 m long side platforms serving two tracks. The platforms are fitted with chest-high platform edge doors.[1]
