Location
History
Awa-Kamogawa Station opened on 11 July 1925 as a stop on the Hōjō Line, the forerunner of the present-day Uchibō Line. It was absorbed into the Bōsō Line in 1929, which split into the Bōsō-East and Bōsō-West Lines in April 1933; these in turn became the Sotobō Line and Uchibō Line on 15 July 1972. The station now serves as the joint terminus of both lines — one of only three such double-terminating stations in Japan, alongside Kamaishi and Kagoshima. Freight ended in 1974, and at JNR's breakup on 1 April 1987 the station passed to JR East. A new station building opened in August 2006, and the manned ticket window closed on 31 January 2023.
Notes
Awa-Kamogawa is one of only three stations in Japan where two separate lines both terminate together with up-traffic only — the others are Kamaishi and Kagoshima.
