Location
History
Aioi Station opened on 15 April 1911 as the Ashio Railway's Aioi Station, then written 相生. On 1 July of the following year, 1912, the second character was changed from 生 to 老 — both spellings are read Aioi — both to avoid duplicating Aioi Station in Hyōgo Prefecture and to convey the sense of "growing old together," giving the present form 相老. Tobu Railway's own Aioi Station opened on 19 March 1913, making the site a connecting station between the two companies. The Ashio Railway was nationalized on 1 June 1918, and following the 1987 division and privatization of Japanese National Railways the Ashio Line was transferred to the Watarase Keikoku Railway on 29 March 1989. In 1991, platform extensions allowed Tobu's express — now limited express — "Ryōmō" to stop at the station.
Notes
When stations nationwide are arranged in gojūon order, this station, together with the identically pronounced but differently written Aioi stations (on JR West and the Nagaragawa Railway), is known to come at the very top of the list, as its name begins with "Aioi."
