• Ainokaze Toyama Railway Line: Higashi-​Namerikawa ⇄ Mizuhashi

Namerikawa Station opened on 1908-11-16 in Tatsuno, then Hamakatsumi-mura in Nakaniikawa District, when the Hokuriku Main Line was extended from Toyama to Uozu, and was assigned to that line by the 1909 line-naming reform. The Tateyama Light Railway (later absorbed into Toyama Chiho Railway) opened its own platforms here on 1913-06-25, and the two operators ran the joint station for decades. JR West took over the main station at privatisation on 1987-04-01. An underground passage linking the JR and Toyama Chiho sides opened on 2001-06-29 and the two stations were thereafter operated separately. JR West's section was transferred to the Ainokaze Toyama Railway on 2015-03-14 with the Hokuriku Shinkansen extension to Kanazawa.

When Namerikawa's footbridge was rebuilt on 1960-02-25, it became the first railway footbridge in Japan to incorporate prestressed concrete in its structural design.
