History
Nyūgawa Station is a railway stop on the Sangi Railway's Sangi Line in the city of Inabe, Mie Prefecture, located 19.6 kilometres from the line's terminus at Kintetsu-Tomida. It opened on 23 July 1931 and once handled significant freight, dispatching magnesia lime and other minerals from nearby mines. The station has a single island platform connected to the station building by a level crossing. The Freight Railway Museum stands immediately adjacent to the station, occupying a disused siding and preserving freight rolling stock that recalls the line's former cargo role.

Notes
The station shares its building with the Freight Railway Museum, Japan's only museum dedicated to railway freight stock; preserved cars sit on a siding deliberately disconnected from the main line.
