Nishi-Biwajima Station, Railway station in Kiyosu, Japan
Nishi-Biwajima Station is a railway stop on the Meitetsu Nagoya Main Line in Kiyosu with two island platforms connected by a level crossing. The station processes around 830 passengers daily and features automated ticket machines with Manaca-compatible entry gates.
The station opened on January 23, 1914, and became an important local transport hub. During World War II, it temporarily shut down in 1944 but resumed operations again in August of that year.
The station serves as a central point for the local community, connecting residents to educational facilities including the neighboring Nishi Biwajima Elementary School.
The station operates throughout the day with relatively lighter crowds compared to major urban stations. Visitors should check operating hours and keep in mind this is a small local facility with limited amenities.
The station sits near Biwajima Junction, where the Inuyama line branches northward and separates from the main route. This makes it a key point for passengers switching between the two lines.
