List of stations opened by petition in Japan

In Japan some railway stations were built in response to a petition of the local governments or companies near the new station etc., and the railway company did not bear all construction costs. These are called in Japanese. This article lists some of these stations.

The first station opened by petition on a JR line was Higashi-Koganei Station on the ChÃÂ«ÃÂ Main Line, which was opened in 1964 before privatization of the Japanese National Railways (JNR). This station is located close to a commemoration hall.
