Funagata

Departure data for this station is not available on this site.

Funagata Station opened on 21 July 1902 as part of the Ōu South Line extension between Ōishida and Funagata. Freight handling was withdrawn on 10 September 1975 and parcel handling on 5 February 1978, at which point the station became unattended under simplified entrustment. With the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987 it passed to the East Japan Railway Company (JR East). The current station building, completed on 1 April 1993, also houses the Funagata Town Tourism and Local Products Promotion Center; on 23 March 2014 the building was extended and the centre renamed Funagata Town Tourism and Local Products Promotion Center Megami, after the Jōmon no Megami was designated a National Treasure.

Strictly speaking, there is no station building; the gap between Funagata Town's Medical Service Center and its Tourism and Products Center serves as the station's entrance, but the Tourism and Products Center contains a waiting area and a ticket window open only on weekdays, effectively serving as the station building.
