History
Ino Station began as a signal station on 11 October 1944, when the Jōetsu and Ryōmō lines ran as parallel single tracks between Takasaki and Shin-Maebashi. A platform on the Ryōmō side was added on 25 December 1948, and the signal station was upgraded to a full Ino Station on 20 December 1957, the parallel route being merged into a double-track Jōetsu Line at the same time. JR East took over at privatisation on 1 April 1987. Suica acceptance began on 18 November 2001, and the new west station building opened on 19 March 2022. Although stop-pattern timetables initially treated most trains as through-running, an October 1978 timetable change made Ino a regular stop.
