History
Shingū Station opened on the Shingu Railway on March 1, 1913. The Shingu Railway was nationalized on July 1, 1934, and the station was relocated 40 meters to the south of its original location on May 30, 1928. The station building burned down due to a fire which began in the checked luggage storage room on January 21, 1951. With the privatization of the Japan National Railways (JNR( on April 1, 1987, the station came under the aegis of the West Japan Railway Company (JR West) and the Japan Freight Railway Company (JR Freight). Freight operations were terminated from March 16, 1996.
