• IR Ishikawa Railway Line: Matto ⇄ Kaga-Kasama

Nishi-Mattō Station is an IR Ishikawa Railway Line station in Hakusan, Ishikawa Prefecture, sited about 1.9 km from Mattō and 2.5 km from Kaga-Kasama, adjacent to the Hokuriku Shinkansen’s Hakusan General Rolling Stock Yard. The Hokushin’etsu District Transport Bureau authorised it in April 2021; after a public name solicitation in late 2021 the choice was confirmed in March 2022. Construction was financed by national and local government subsidies, in coordination with the city’s Mattō Kitayasuda land readjustment project. The station opened on 16 March 2024, the same day the Hokuriku Shinkansen reached Tsuruga and the parallel Hokuriku Main Line section between Daishōji and Kanazawa transferred to IR Ishikawa Railway. Its 130-m two-platform layout fits six-car trains, with roughly half-hourly local service each way.

The chosen name only came third in the public ballot, behind “Hakusan” and “Kaga-Hakusan”; a school survey and a selection panel decided in favour of Nishi-Mattō.
