Location
History
Kurogo Station is in the city of Chikusei in Ibaraki Prefecture and is operated by Kantō Railway on its Jōsō Line, 43.6 kilometres from the Toride starting point. It opened in November 1913 with the inauguration of the Jōsō Railroad. The line passed to Jōsō-Tsukuba Railway after a 1945 merger with the original Tsukuba Railway, and to Kantō Railway after a further merger with Kashima Sangū Railway in 1965. The station became unattended on 1 April 1999, and the present compact station building was completed on 22 August 2003. PASMO acceptance began on 14 March 2009. The site has one side and one island platform, and the track nearest the station building carries no passenger services, being kept for stabling maintenance vehicles.
Notes
Kurogo takes its name from the village of Kurogo in Makabe County, the name in use when the station opened and long since abolished. The station is the closest one to the Hakojima flood-retention basin, a well-known local cherry-blossom spot.
