Chiji Station (千路駅, Chiji-eki) is situated in Chijimachi, Hakui City, Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan. As part of the West Japan Railway Company (JR West) network, it provides essential regional rail services to the local community and travelers exploring the Noto Peninsula.

Railway Lines
Chiji Station is exclusively served by the Nanao Line, operated by JR West. This line stretches between Tsubata Station and Nanao Station, with some services continuing to Wakuraonsen. While the Nanao Line was historically connected to the broader JR network via the Hokuriku Main Line, the transfer of the latter to IR Ishikawa Railway in 2015 means that all JR West Nanao Line services now operate through to/from Kanazawa via the IR Ishikawa Railway Line, ensuring continued connectivity for passengers.

When planning your journey to Chiji Station, consider that the Nanao Line offers a scenic route through Ishikawa Prefecture. For those traveling from Kanazawa, direct through services are available, making the journey seamless. Be sure to check the latest train schedules for both JR West and IR Ishikawa Railway to ensure a smooth travel experience.
