Komatsu Station is served by the IR Ishikawa Railway Line, and is just over 100 kilometers from the start of the line at Tsuruga. It became a station on the high-speed Hokuriku Shinkansen line when the extension west of Kanazawa opened on 16 March 2024.[1]
Komatsu Station opened on 20 September 1897.[2] With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR) on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR West.[2]
Construction of the platforms serving the Hokuriku Shinkansen was completed in August 2022.[3]
Effective the timetable revision on 16 March 2024, the Hokuriku Shinkansen began operations at the station while the facilities of the Hokuriku Main Line were transferred to the IR Ishikawa Railway.[1][4]
Passenger statistics
In fiscal 2015, the station was used by an average of 4,002 passengers daily (boarding passengers only).[5]
