Joshu-Fukushima

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

Jōshū-Fukushima Station serves the town of Kanra in Gunma Prefecture and is operated by Jōshin Dentetsu on its Jōshin Line, 16.6 kilometres from the Takasaki terminus. It opened on 10 May 1897 as Fukushima Station and was renamed to its present form on 17 December 1921. It has an island platform with two tracks and a wooden station building, and is a consignment-staffed station. A substation completed in 1924 stands across the tracks on the Takasaki side and is still in operation. The site is the historical access point for the castle town of the former Obata domain.

On 20 February 2005 the travel writer Yokomi Hirohiko completed his project of alighting at every passenger station then in service in Japan, making Jōshū-Fukushima the last one; the day was depicted in the manga series Tetsuko no Tabi.
