Iga-Kambe Station
Lines. Iga-Kambe Station is served by the Kintetsu Osaka Line, and is located 75.5 rail kilometers from the starting point of the line at Ōsaka Uehommachi Station. It is also served by the Iga Railway Iga Line and is 16.6 rail kilometers from the terminus of that line at Iga-Ueno Station. Station layout. The station consists of three side platforms. From north to south they are numbered 5 (adjacent to the station building, and serving the Iga Line), and (either side of the Osaka Line) 1 and 2, serving, respectively, eastbound (down) trains towards Ise -Nakagawa and westbound (up) trains towards Nabari. Platform 1 was originally an island platform, but the track on its northern side was removed in 2007. At the same time, an earlier additional Iga Line track (no 6) was removed to allow improvements to be made to the station building including the provision of an end-access ramp to platform 5. History. Iga-Kambe Station opened on October 10, 1930 as a station on the Sangu Express Electric Railway. The station replaced on the former Iga Electric Railway, which had been opened on July 18, 1922, but which was located several  hundred meters from Iga-Kambe Station. The Iga Electric Railway became part of the Sangu Electric Railway on March 31, 1929. After merging with Osaka Electric Kido on March 15, 1941, the Sangu Electric Express became part of the Kansai Express Railway. This line was merged with the Nankai Electric Railway on June 1, 1944 to form Kintetsu. On October 1, 1964, the section of the Kintetsu Iga Line between this station and Mihata Station was abandoned, making this station effectively a terminus of the Kintetsu Iga Line. The remaining portion of the Kintetsu Iga Line from this station to  Iga-Ueno Station became the Iga Railway, a separately-operated subsidiary company of Kintetetsu in 2007. Passenger statistics. In fiscal 2019, the Kintetsu station was used by an average of 2,246 passengers daily and the Ise Railway station by 1,350 passengers daily (boarding passengers only).
