Echigo Oshiage Hisui Kaigan Station (えちご押上ひすい海岸駅, Echigo Oshiage Hisui Kaigan-eki) is a railway station in the city of Itoigawa, Niigata, Japan, operated by Echigo Tokimeki Railway.

Outline

After the Hokuriku Shinkansen was extended to Kanazawa Station, the parallel Hokuriku Main Line was transferred to the newly established third-sector public-private company, Echigo Tokimeki Railway. After the transfer, Niigata Prefecture and the railway company considered installing a new station^[3] near a local school and hospital to increase profits and break even with operational costs.^[4] In September 2019, MLIT approved the installation of the then tentatively named "Oshiage Shineki" station, which later became the Echigo Oshiage Hisui Kaigan Station.^[5] The cost of installing the new station was subsidized by JRTT and the local government.^[6]
