Location

History

Kamedake Station opened on 20 November 1934 when the Railway Ministry's Kisuki Line was extended between Izumo-Minari and Yakawa, in present-day Okuizumo, Shimane Prefecture. On 1 October 1971 staff were withdrawn and the station was cut back to a single ground-level side platform. The wooden station building survived; from 1973 a soba restaurant called Ōgiya has occupied it, and the proprietor is contracted to sell tickets on the railway's behalf. The station passed to JR West at the 1987 privatisation of JNR. In fiscal 2020 it averaged about twenty passengers daily.

Notes

The station appears in Seichō Matsumoto's novel "Inspector Imanishi Investigates"; the 1974 film adaptation, however, shot its platform scenes at Izumo-Yashiro and its station building at Yakawa.
