Location

History

Aizu-Gamō Station opened on 20 August 1963 with the Japanese National Railways Tadami Line extension between Aizu-Kawaguchi and Tadami, as an intermediate unstaffed stop in the town of Tadami, Minamiaizu District, Fukushima Prefecture. At opening, only this station and Aizu-Yokota lay between Aizu-Kawaguchi and Tadami. The single short side platform accommodates only one carriage; multi-car trains use door-cutting at the leading car. Operations passed to JR East on 1 April 1987 with the privatisation of JNR. Service was suspended on 30 July 2011 after torrential rain destroyed sections of the line, replaced by a bus substitute until the Tadami Line resumed throughout on 1 October 2022.

Notes

The small waiting shelter beside the platform has stood there since the station opened in 1963; inside hangs a certificate of thanks from the JNR Sendai Railway Administration to the Gamō villagers for snow-clearing assistance during the heavy snowfall of December 1967.
