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[2] near a local school and hospital to increase profits and break even with operational costs.[3] In September 2019, MLIT approved the installation of the then tentatively named "Oshiage Shineki" station, which later became the Echigo Oshiage Hisui Kaigan Station.[4] The cost of installing the new station was subsidized by JRTT and the local government.[5]
