Notes
Tsukioka retains its original wooden station building and once hosted turnback workings on the Kamidaki Line, with right-hand running used between the two tracks for passing trains. The Tsukioka district is populous but the station sits about 2 km from the centre of it, which keeps regular use light. The station also appears in the climactic scene of the 2010 film 'Railways: Aiwo Tsutaerarenai Otonatachi e', set on the Toyama Chihō Railway.
