Lines

Bingo-Mikawa Station is served by the JR West Fukuen Line, and is located 42.4 kilometers from the terminus of the line at Fukuyama. [2]

Station layout

The station consists of one side platform serving a single bi-directional track. Due to the construction of the Hattawara Dam, the route from this station to Kawasa Station was changed to a new route via the Hattawara Tunnel, and the Fuchu side of the platform was widened. Although there is a station building, it is unmanned, and there is no automatic ticket vending machine. The station building is a log house with a pointed roof, and part of the building is used as a meeting place for locals. [2]

History

Bingo-Mikawa Station was opened on 28 July 1938. With the privatization of the Japanese National Railways (JNR) on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR West. The current station building was built in 1990.

Passenger statistics

In fiscal 2019, the station was used by an average of 18 passengers daily.[3]
