Location
History
Komoriutanosato-Takaya Station opened on 11 January 1999 with the inauguration of the Ibara Railway's Ibara Line, a third-sector route that broadly retraced the path of the former Ikasa Railway Kannabe Line, abandoned in 1967. Rail service first reached Takaya in 1922, when the Ryōbi Light Railway opened its Takaya Line from Kannabe with Takaya as its terminus; from 1925 it was a junction with the Ikasa Railway Takaya Line. After more than thirty years without trains, the new station opened on almost the same site as the original Takaya Station. It is an unstaffed elevated halt with a single side platform.
Notes
The station name "Komoriutanosato-Takaya" translates as "Takaya, home of the lullaby", a reference to the Chūgoku Region Lullaby — a traditional cradle song associated with this part of Okayama — and a monument to the song stands a short walk from the station.
