Noto-Kashima Station Live Cam

Historic Origins

Noto-Kashima Station, nestled in the coastal town of Anamizu in Ishikawa Prefecture, first welcomed passengers on October 31, 1960. Conceived during Japan National Railways’ (JNR) post-war expansion to connect remote communities of the Noto Peninsula with regional hubs, the station served as a vital link between rural fishing villages and urban markets. After the privatization and breakup of JNR, Noto-Kashima Station was transferred to the Noto Railway in March 1988, ushering in a new era of community-led railway management aimed at preserving local heritage and promoting tourism. Today, the station stands as a living monument to mid-20th century Japanese rail development and the resilient spirit of the Noto culture.
