Kogota

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

Kogota Station opened on 16 April 1890, when the private Nippon Railway extended its line from Iwakiri to Ichinoseki on what would become the Tōhoku Main Line. The original station sat north of the present site near the Eai River, but the site proved prone to flooding and to gradient problems; after the 1910 floods washed out the embankments, the station was rebuilt further south at its current location. The Senpoku Light Railway, predecessor of the Ishinomaki Line, opened from Kogota on 28 October 1912, and the Rikuu Line (today's Rikuu East Line) extended west from the station on 20 April 1913. The station passed to JR East at the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987.

The operating distance of Furukawa Station on the Tōhoku Shinkansen is calculated using that of Kogota Station, giving a reference point of 395 km from Tokyo Station.
