Kakuda

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

Kakuda Station opened on 1 April 1968 as a passenger-only station of the Japanese National Railways, with a single side platform. On 1 July 1986 the line was transferred to the third-sector Abukuma Express, and a passing loop and second platform were added. A pedestrian footbridge was completed in July 1996, and the present two-storey station building, named "Oak Plaza", entered service in April 1998 as the centrepiece of a city-led station-area redevelopment.

Kakuda Station was selected as one of the Tōhoku Top 100 Stations in 2002 under the slogan "a futuristically-shaped station in a town reaching for space". Apart from terminal stations such as Fukushima and Tsukinoki, it is the busiest station on the Abukuma Express Line, with recorded daily passenger figures of over 1,000.
