History
Ino in Takasaki, Gunma began on 11 October 1944 as a signal facility on what was then a single-track parallel section of the Jōetsu and Ryōmō lines. A platform was added on the Ryōmō (now up) side on 25 December 1948 to begin passenger service, and full station status followed on 20 December 1957, by which point the duplex single-track arrangement between Takasaki and Shin-Maebashi had been converted to a true double-track Jōetsu Line. The station passed to JR East at the 1 April 1987 privatisation of Japanese National Railways. Suica acceptance began on 18 November 2001, and a new west station building entered service on 19 March 2022, replacing the older entrance.
