History[edit]

From 14 March 2015, with the opening of the Hokuriku Shinkansen extension from NaganotoKanazawa, local passenger operations over sections of the Shinetsu Main Line and Hokuriku Main Line running roughly parallel to the new shinkansen line were reassigned to third-sector railway operating companies.^[3] From this date, Kita-Arai Station was transferred to the ownership of the third-sector operating company Echigo Tokimeki Railway.

In fiscal 2017, the station was used by an average of 256 passengers daily (boarding passengers only).^[4]
