Akitashirakami

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

Akitashirakami Station opened on October 1, 1997 in what was then the town of Hachimori (now Happō), Akita Prefecture, on the Gonō Line. The town had begun campaigning for a new station as early as 1988; its provisional name during planning was Goshonodai. The station is served by every run of the seasonal Resort Shirakami rapid service and consists of a single side platform along the line. From April 1, 2020, administration of the station shifted to Higashi-Noshiro Station, and it now operates as a simplified-commissioned stop with ticket sales handled by Happō town through the adjacent Akita-Shirakami Central Management Centre.

Until fiscal 2004, Akitashirakami held the unusual distinction of being the least-used staffed station in JR East's network.
