History
Kamiichi Station opened on 1931-08-15 as Kamiichiguchi Station when the Toyama Electric Railway extended its line from Toyama-Dejiho. A further extension on 1931-11-07 to the original Kamiichi Station made the reversal a chronic operational headache, so on 1943-11-11 the link between Kamiichiguchi and the original terminus was closed and the surviving stop took the name Kamiichi. A region-wide railway merger had already placed the line under the Toyama Chiho Railway Main Line on 1943-01-01. The present two-storey station building was completed on 1972-11-23, and an underground bicycle park plus pedestrian subway opened on 1992-12-08. Trains still reverse direction at Kamiichi today.
