Location

History

Hitachi-Aoyagi Station opened on 16 November 1896 as Aoyagi Station on the privately-built Ōta Railway. The line was absorbed into the Mito Railway on 21 October 1901 and nationalised on 1 December 1927, the same day the station was given its present name. With the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987 it passed to JR East, on whose Suigun Line it remains. The station is unattended and consists of a single island platform reached by a level crossing, situated 1.9 rail kilometres from the line's starting point at Mito Station.

Notes

The station carried the plain name Aoyagi from its opening in 1896 until 1 December 1927, when it was nationalised and renamed Hitachi-Aoyagi on the very same day.
