Location
History
Sekiyama Station opened on 15 August 1886 in what is now Myōkō, Niigata Prefecture, on the route that later became the Shin'etsu Main Line. It joined the JR East network at the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987. On 14 March 2015, with the extension of the Hokuriku Shinkansen from Nagano to Kanazawa, the local passenger services along sections of the Shin'etsu Main Line and Hokuriku Main Line running roughly parallel to the new shinkansen were transferred to third-sector operators, and Sekiyama Station was reassigned to the Echigo Tokimeki Railway. It now lies on that company's 37.7-kilometre Myōkō Haneuma Line between Myōkō-Kōgen and Naoetsu.
Notes
Sekiyama opened in 1886, making it one of the older stops on what is now the Echigo Tokimeki Railway's Myōkō Haneuma Line.
