History

Kintetsu-Nagashima Station opened on 26 June 1938 as Kankyū-Nagashima Station on the newly built Kansai Express Electric Railway between Kuwana and what is now Kintetsu Nagoya. Through a sequence of wartime mergers it was renamed Sangū-Nagashima in 1940, Kankyū-Nagashima again in 1941, Kinki Nippon Nagashima in 1944, and finally shortened to its present name on 1 March 1970. The station sits in Kuwana, Mie Prefecture, on the Kintetsu Nagoya Line and is the line's easternmost and northernmost station in Mie; crossing the Kisogawa to the east enters Aichi. PiTaPa contactless ticketing began on 1 April 2007, and select limited expresses make seasonal stops here during the Nabana no Sato winter illuminations.

Notes

Express trains make seasonal stops at Kintetsu-Nagashima only during the Nabana no Sato winter illumination period — a joint arrangement between Kintetsu, Mie Kotsu Bus and the resort operator to relieve road congestion on the route south to the Nagashima Spa Land complex.
