History[]
The station opened on 10 December 1961 on the Shinetsu Main Line. With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR East.
From 14 March 2015, with the opening of the Hokuriku Shinkansen extension from Nagano to Kanazawa, local passenger operations over sections of the Shinetsu Main Line running roughly parallel to the new shinkansen line were reassigned to different third-sector railway operating companies.[1] From this date, Minami-Takada Station became a station on the Echigo Tokimeki Railway Myōkō Haneuma Line.[1]
Passenger statistics[]
In fiscal 2017, the station was used by an average of 835 passengers daily (boarding passengers only).[2]
