History
Negoya Station opened on 1 June 1926 in what is now the city of Takasaki, Gunma Prefecture, on the Jōshin Line operated by the private railway operator Jōshin Dentetsu. The single side-platform halt sits 3.7 kilometres from the line's terminus at Takasaki and serves the rural Negoyamachi district at the foot of the former Negoya Castle. The station is operated under a kan'i itaku (simple-commission) arrangement: a window agent sells tickets on weekdays and alternating Saturdays using card-stock and supplementary fare slips, and no vending machines are installed. A flush toilet is provided in the station building.

Notes
Negoya is named after the nearby ruins of Negoya Castle and is one of the few stops on the Jōshin Line where tickets are still sold on hard cardstock rather than from a vending machine.
