Arito

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

Arito Station opened on March 20, 1921 as a stop on the Japanese Government Railways in the town of Noheji, on what is now the Ōminato Line. Freight handling was discontinued on March 15, 1972, leaving the station unattended with a single side platform along a bidirectional track. With the 1987 breakup and privatisation of Japanese National Railways, operational control passed to East Japan Railway Company, under which it continues to serve local Ōminato Line traffic. A waiting shelter stands on the platform, 9.6 kilometres from the line terminus at Noheji Station.

Reflections off Hakodate-yama let residents near Arito Station pick up Hokkaido-only Fuji and TV Tokyo affiliates that have no Aomori broadcaster, so homes here often run two antennas — one for Eboshi-dake and one aimed across the strait.
