Terada (Toyama)

No publicly available departure data for this station.

Terada Station opened on 15 August 1931 with the simultaneous opening of the Toyama Denki Tetsudō (Toyama Electric Railway) line from 富山田地方駅 (the predecessor of today’s Dentetsu-Toyama Station) past Terada to Kamiichi-guchi, together with a separate branch from Terada to Gohyakuishi. The operator merged into Toyama Chihō Railway on 1 January 1943. The wooden station building dating from 1931 is still in use, with its sign reading "驛田寺" — using the old form 驛 written right-to-left as was the pre-war convention. A large-scale renovation including IC-card-compatible faregates was completed on 23 September 2016.

Terada is the junction where the Tateyama Line branches off the Main Line, but the planned delta connection between the two lines was never completed. As a result, the Alpine Limited Express between Tateyama and Unazuki-Onsen must reverse direction at Terada — it discharges passengers on the up-Line platform of the Tateyama Line, then reverses to the down-Main-Line track to board passengers heading toward Unazuki-Onsen (and vice versa).
