Location

History

Kaida Station traces its history to a signal stop opened on 5 June 1922 on the Tōhoku Main Line. It was upgraded to a full station on 10 June 1952 in what is today the town of Kunimi in Fukushima Prefecture, making it the northernmost station in the prefecture. Parcel handling ended on 1 February 1984 and the station was destaffed later that year, on 1 December 1984. It passed to JR East at the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987, accepted Suica from 14 March 2009, and joined the Eki-Net QChiketto service on 1 October 2024. The station has two opposed side platforms linked by a footbridge.

Notes

Originally a signal stop opened in 1922, the station never developed a station-front plaza in the conventional sense — even today there is barely a clearing on the approach side.
