History
Izu-Nitta Station opened on 1 July 1922 on the Izuhakone Railway Sunzu Line, in Kannami Town, Shizuoka Prefecture. The station was established after Nitta Daihachirō — a founder of the Sunzu Electric Railway and headmaster of the prefectural agriculture and forestry school — donated land of his own, ending the need for local residents and students to walk to Daiba Station to reach Mishima. The opening immediately attracted a small commercial cluster of rickshaw drivers, a freight forwarder, a confectioner, a barber and a bank agent. The station was fully rebuilt on 21 April 1993, and from 29 March 2020 staffing was reduced to a single morning window between 07:00 and 08:30.
