History
Aizu-Kawaguchi Station opened on 20 September 1956 as a general station and the new terminus of an extension of the eastern section of the Tadami Line from Aizu-Miyashita, in what is now the town of Kaneyama, Ōnuma District, Fukushima Prefecture. From December 1957 the Electric Power Development Company operated a freight-only line beyond the station for hydroelectric construction; that line was repurposed for the line's August 1963 extension to Tadami. Freight and parcel handling ended in 1982 and 1984. The current building was completed in March 1987, just before the station joined the East Japan Railway Company (JR East) network in April. Torrential rainfall on 30 July 2011 cut services to Tadami; the section reopened on 1 October 2022.
Notes
The 1987 station building shares its footprint with the JA Aizu Yotsuba Kaneyama branch and the Kawaguchi post office; the building was named one of Tōhoku's hundred best stations in 2002.
