History

Azuchi Station opened on 25 April 1914 as a Japanese Government Railway stop handling both passengers and freight. Freight service ended on 15 March 1972, and the station joined JR West at the 1987 privatisation. ICOCA was enabled on 1 November 2003, and the long-serving wooden ground-level building — the last such structure on the Maibara–Kyoto stretch — was retired on 19 November 2017 when a 400-square-metre overhead station with a 58-metre cross-corridor opened, adding a south exit, lifts and escalators. Station number JR-A18 followed in March 2018, and a 13-by-4-metre Azuchi-castle wrap was added to the north façade on 30 November 2019.

Notes

The new (2017) station's north façade is built as an octagonal tower in vermilion, evoking the keep of Azuchi Castle, and a statue of Oda Nobunaga stands in the station forecourt.
