Station History

Hon-Nagashino Station was established on February 1, 1923 as Hōraiji Station (鳳来寺駅, Hōraiji-eki) on the now-defunct Hōraiji Railway (鳳来寺鉄道, Hōraiji Tetsudō). On March 15, 1929 it was briefly renamed Horaijiguchi Station (鳳来寺口駅, Horaijiguchi-eki) but reverted to its original name only two weeks later. On May 22, 1929, the now defunct Taguchi Line connected to the station. On August 1, 1943, the Horaiji Railway was nationalized along with some other local lines to form the Japanese Government Railways (JGR) Iida Line and the station was renamed to its present name. The Taguchi Line ceased operations in 1969. Scheduled freight operations were discontinued in 1971. Along with its division and privatization of JNR on April 1, 1987, the station came under the control and operation of the Central Japan Railway Company.
