Location

History

Ichinowatari Station opened on 27 February 1972 as an unstaffed station on the Japanese National Railways Miyako Line. The line was transferred to the third-sector Sanriku Railway on 1 April 1984 and became part of the Kita-Rias Line (now the Rias Line). The Tōhoku Earthquake of 11 March 2011 closed the line entirely; service between Miyako and Tarō, which includes this station, resumed on 20 March 2011. Trapped between tunnels on either side, the unstaffed station has a single island platform serving two tracks.

Notes

Set among the mountains where Japanese bush warblers and cuckoos can often be heard, the station has been given the nickname 'Uguisu no Komichi' — 'Path of the Warbler'.
