Location

History

Kubota Station opened on 1 October 1985 as a station of the Yuri Kōgen Railway in Yuri Town, Yuri District, Akita Prefecture. The site is now part of Yurihonjō City, in the southwestern part of Akita. Yurihonjō was formed in March 2005 by the merger of the former Honjō City with seven surrounding towns; the resulting municipality is the largest by area in Akita, covering roughly one-tenth of the prefecture's land area. The Yuri Kōgen Railway's Chōkai Sanroku Line takes its name from Mt. Chōkai, one of the mountains that lie within the city, and runs entirely within the municipality between Ugo-Honjō and Yashima.

Notes

The Chōkai Sanroku Line's full route, from Ugo-Honjō through Kubota to Yashima, runs end-to-end inside Yurihonjō City, the largest city in Akita by area.
