Matsudai Station (まつだい駅, Matsudai-eki) is a railway station located in the city of Tōkamachi, Niigata, Japan, operated by the third sector Hokuetsu Express. The station name is written in hiragana because when it was opened, there was already a Matsushiro Station (Japanese: 松代, same as the kanji form of Matsudai), which has since closed. Also, it is to appear friendlier to the local community.
