Location

History

Ayaori Station opened on 15 December 1914 on the Iwate Light Railway, a 762-mm narrow-gauge line stretching from Hanamaki to the now-defunct Sennintōge Station. The line was nationalised on 1 August 1936 and incorporated into the Kamaishi Line. Regauging to the standard JNR 1,067 mm was completed in 1949 between Tōno and the west, and the line was through-regauged in October 1950. Freight handling ended on 1 November 1962, and parcel service finished in March 1983 alongside the station's unstaffing. The 1987 privatisation of Japanese National Railways transferred operation to JR East, and from June 2018 the station has been managed from Kitakami after Tōno itself moved to outsourced operation.

Notes

Ayaori Station carries the Esperanto nickname "Teksilo", meaning weaving loom.
