History
Chikagawa Station opened on 25 September 1921 as a stop on what became the Ōminato Line in Mutsu, Aomori Prefecture. Freight handling was discontinued and the station was unstaffed from 15 March 1972. With the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987, operations passed to JR East. The station's footprint reflects that history: it was originally built with two opposed side platforms, but the former down track (old platform 2) was lifted and today the surviving up-line platform carries bidirectional traffic. Eki-net Q Chiket service started on 1 October 2024, and the unattended stop sits about 42.7 km from the line's terminus at Noheji Station.
Notes
The Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force operates its Ōminato Chikagawa receiving station near here, one of its communications-command facilities.
