History
Daian Station (S09) is on the Sangi Railway Sangi Line in Ōida, Daian-chō, Inabe, Mie, 15.3 km from the line's terminus at Kintetsu-Tomida. It opened on 23 July 1931 as Ōida Station, was renamed Daian Station and relocated to its present site on 25 March 1986, and a railway library opened on the platform in April 1997. The station building was paid for by the former Daian Town as part of the 1986 relocation and incorporates the Inabe Municipal Daian Library and a Sangi Travel office; the station was selected for the first round of the Central Japan Top 100 Stations.

Notes
Daian's station building doubles as the Inabe Municipal Daian Library (formerly the Daian Town Central Library), and because it shares premises with a railway it stocks a dedicated rail-themed reading corner — a setup unusual enough that the station was named to the first round of the Chūbu Top 100 Stations selection.
