Location

History

Higashi-Fukushima Station opened on 15 October 1923 as Senoue Station on the Ministry of Railways Tōhoku Main Line, in the city of Fukushima. It was renamed to its present form on 1 June 1978, and container freight operations transferred from Fukushima Station the same month. The station joined the JR East and JR Freight networks at the 1987 privatisation of Japanese National Railways. Scheduled freight trains ceased on 14 March 1998, and the Higashi-Fukushima Off-Rail Station, a truck-served container depot, was set up in 2006. Suica use began in 2009.

Notes

Until 1 June 1978 this station was called Senoue Station, the name it had carried since it opened in 1923.
