• Toyamako Line: Shimookui ⇄ Ryūkoku Toyama-Kōkō-mae (Eirakuchō)

Okuda-Chūgakkō-mae Station is on the Toyama Chihō Railway Toyama-kō Line in Eirakuchō, Toyama, with station number C29. It was one of the new stations planned for the 2006 Toyama Light Rail conversion (a 27 November 2003 proposal by the Toyama City Construction Committee mid-term report), with the Ministry's authorisation given on 18 February 2005 and the name decided on 2 December 2005 by a local-representative committee after no naming-rights bid was received. The station opened on 29 April 2006 with the rest of the Toyama-kō Line. The platforms are at the boundary between Railway Business Act and Tramway Act jurisdictions: the section toward Toyama Station is operated as a tramway, the rest of the Toyama-kō Line as a railway. The platforms are equipped with on-track sensors that communicate with onboard antennas for train detection.

Okuda-Chūgakkō-mae marks the dual-jurisdiction boundary on the Toyama-kō Line: south of the platform the line is run as a tramway under the Tramway Act, but from the platform north as a railway under the Railway Business Act. Train detection through the boundary relies on track-mounted sensors that talk to onboard transponders.
