History

Terashita Station opened on 17 June 1921 as a station on the Ueda Onsen Dentetsu Kawanishi Line in the present-day city of Ueda, Nagano Prefecture. After the route was renamed the Bessho Line in March 1939 the station passed through a series of corporate reorganisations — Ueda Marushi Dentetsu (1943), Ueda Kōtsū (1969), and finally Ueda Electric Railway (2005, on the spin-off of the rail division). It has remained an unattended halt with a single ground-level side platform throughout its operational history. Station numbering was introduced in August 2016, and Terashita was assigned BE06 on the Bessho Line numbering scheme.

Notes

The station's name is taken from its location "below the temple" — specifically Chōsei-ji, founded in 1568 — and the local place name "Terashita" only entered use after the station itself had opened.
