Nishinaka

No publicly available departure data for this station.

Nishinaka Station opened on 25 March 1958 as a Japanese National Railways station on the Furano Line in Nakafurano, Hokkaidō, handling passenger traffic only. At the 1 April 1987 privatisation of JNR it was inherited by JR Hokkaido. It remains an unstaffed ground-level stop with a single side platform roughly the length of one car, together with a small waiting room. Only all-stations local trains stop here, and even those are sometimes scheduled to pass without stopping. The station name reflects its location in what was then the western part of Nakafurano village.

Nishinaka is one of the Furano Line stops that even local trains sometimes skip — and the waiting room hosts a station-notebook (ekinōto) for passing travellers to write entries in.
