Location

History

Awa-Amatsu Station is a JR East stop on the Sotobo Line in the city of Kamogawa, Chiba Prefecture, located 87.7 kilometres from the line's origin at Chiba. It opened on 15 April 1929. Freight handling was discontinued on 1 July 1971 and parcel handling on 1 March 1972, and the station was unstaffed from 1 March 1985. With the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987, the station passed to JR East. Suica became usable on 14 March 2009 when the station was added to the Tokyo Suburban Area, and the commission ticket-sales arrangement (kan'i itaku) under which the city of Kamogawa sold tickets was ended on 1 July 2019, returning the station to fully unstaffed operation.

Notes

Although on the outer Bōsō coast, Awa-Amatsu is part of the Tokyo Suburban Area for fare purposes, allowing standard Suica touch-and-go from a station with an average of only around 132 daily boardings (fiscal 2018).
