History
Niragawa Station is a Tobu Railway station on the Isesaki Line in Ōta, Gunma, located 91.8 km from the Asakusa terminus and numbered TI-17. It opened on 25 October 1932 after the then-village of Niragawa donated 1,500 yen towards construction costs the preceding August. The station has a single island platform serving two tracks, with the station building on the north side connected by a footbridge; a PASMO simplified-gate system is installed. Station numbering was applied on 17 March 2012. From the 2006 timetable revision, daytime through-services to Asakusa were cut back, leaving only the Ryōmō limited express as the regular all-day Asakusa link.

Notes
The station owes its existence to a 1,500-yen donation from the then-Niragawa village in August 1932 to cover its construction cost.
