Location
History
The station opened on 11 August 1927 as Kuji-Bairin Stop on the privately operated Nambu Railway, named for a hundreds-strong Edo-period plum grove that the company marketed as a tourist draw. It was promoted to a full station on 16 April 1942. With nationalisation of the Nambu Railway on 1 April 1944 it became Kuji Station on Japanese Government Railways' Nambu Line, and passed to JR East at privatisation on 1 April 1987. Automated faregates were installed on 18 February 1994 and Suica acceptance began on 18 November 2001. The staffed Midori-no-Madoguchi office closed on 29 January 2016, and platform-edge smart doors entered service on 27 August 2024.
Notes
Until 1944 a separate Shukugawara-Fudō Station stood between Kuji and the neighbouring Shukugawara Station on the Nambu Line.
