Kawamae

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

Kawamae Station opened on 10 October 1917 on what is now the Ban'etsu East Line, 26.3 km from the line's origin at Iwaki. Freight services ended on 1 September 1972 and parcel handling on 1 February 1984. The station joined the JR East network with the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987, and was unstaffed in March 1989 when the line moved to centralised traffic control. Management transferred to Kōriyama Station in April 2016, and the long-standing station building was reconstructed in 2017. Eki-Net Q-ticket service was introduced on 1 October 2024.

The Natsui River runs immediately in front of the station, which sits at the centre of a small settlement; the Kawamae branch office of Iwaki City Hall once stood on the opposite bank.
