History
Kami-Sugaya Station opened on 16 November 1897 on the Ota Railway in what is today Naka, Ibaraki Prefecture. The Ota Railway merged into the second Mito Railway on 21 October 1901, and on 12 June 1918 a branch toward Urizura opened, making Kami-Sugaya a junction. The line was nationalised on 1 December 1927; freight handling ended on 1 October 1982 and parcel handling on 1 February 1984. The station passed to JR East at the 1987 JNR privatisation. A new station building opened on 18 January 2014, Suica service began on 1 April 2014, and the Midori no Madoguchi closed on 29 February 2024.
Notes
Kami-Sugaya is the junction where the Suigun Line's Hitachi-Ōta spur branches off from the main line; because no train can pass another anywhere beyond the station on the spur, only one train at a time may enter it.
