History
Ise-Matsumoto Station (K23) is on Kintetsu's Yunoyama Line in Matsumoto 3-chōme, Yokkaichi, Mie. It opened on 24 September 1913 as Matsumoto-mura Station when the Yokkaichi Railway extended its line eastwards from Kawashima-mura to Suwa (today Kintetsu-Yokkaichi). It was renamed Ise-Matsumoto Station on 1 January 1926, and its inspection depot was abolished on 1 March 1964 along with the regauging from 762 mm to 1,435 mm and electrification at 1,500 V DC. After mergers passed the station to Mie Railway, Mie Kōtsū, Mie Electric Railway and finally Kintetsu on 1 April 1965, automated gates were installed and full unstaffing took effect in October 2012. The station has a single island platform serving two tracks, with the platform's effective length sized for three cars.
