Kurikara Station (倶利伽羅駅 Kurikara-eki?) is a railway station on the IR Ishikawa Railway Line in the town of Tsubata, Kahoku District, Ishikawa, Japan, operated by the third-sector railway operator IR Ishikawa Railway.
Kurikara Station is served by the 17.8 km IR Ishikawa Railway Line from Kanazawa.
The station has an island platform serving two tracks. The platform is connected to the station building on the south side by a footbridge.
Kurikara Station opened on 15 June 1909. With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR West.
From 14 March 2015, with the opening of the Hokuriku Shinkansen extension from Nagano to Kanazawa, local passenger operations over sections of the Hokuriku Main Line running roughly parallel to the new shinkansen line were reassigned to different third-sector railway operating companies. From this date, Kurikara Station became a boundary station between the Ainokaze Toyama Railway Line of Toyama Prefecture to the west and the IR Ishikawa Railway Line of Ishikawa Prefecture to the east.
