Aizu-Wakamatsu

Departure data for this station is not available on this site.

The station opened on 15 July 1899 as Wakamatsu Station on the Ganetsu Railway, later renamed Aizu-Wakamatsu on 21 May 1917 to distinguish it from Wakamatsu Station in Fukuoka Prefecture. It became the principal rail gateway for Aizu, with later extensions tying it into the Banetsu West Line, the Tadami Line and through-running services from the Aizu Railway. JR East and JR Freight took over at privatisation on 1 April 1987. In 2001 the station building was remodelled in a castle-style design echoing the nearby Tsurugajō. The station was selected as one of the "Top 100 Stations of the Tōhoku Region" in 2002.

The Banetsu West Line has a switchback configuration at the station, with both Kōriyama and Niitsu lines entering from the north side.
