History
Higashi-Iwase Station is on the Toyama Chihō Railway Toyama-kō Line in Iwase Mikura-chō, Toyama, with station number C37. It opened on 20 September 1924 as Etchū-Iwase Station of the Fugan Railway, requested by passengers because the existing Iwase-kō Station was inconvenient. After successive transfers to Toyama Electric Railway (1941) and Toyama Chihō Railway (1943), the line was nationalised on 1 June 1943 to become a Ministry of Railways station, the name was changed to Higashi-Iwase on 20 May 1950 — the same day that the original Higashi-Iwase Station on the Hokuriku Main Line was renamed Higashi-Toyama — and the station became unstaffed on 2 October 1972. It came under JR West in 1987, was withdrawn from JR West in March 2006, reopened as Toyama Light Rail on 29 April 2006, and reverted to Toyama Chihō Railway on 22 February 2020.
Notes
Higashi-Iwase's 1924 wooden station building and its pre-LRT-conversion platform were spared the post-2006 demolitions on the Toyama-kō Line: both were preserved, the ticket gate and incandescent lamps are still inside, and Toyama Prefecture's Board of Education designated them in the "Toyama 100 Modern History Heritage" list on 26 January 2010.
