Location
History
Kuroishi (Aomori) sits in Kuroishi, Aomori Prefecture and is the terminus of the Konan Railway Kōnan Line, with station number KK 13. The site once contained two adjacent stations: the older Railway Bureau's Kuroishi Station, opened on 15 August 1912 as part of the Kuroishi Light Railway, and the Konan Railway's separate 'Kōnan Kuroishi Station' that opened on 1 July 1950. The JNR Kuroishi Line was transferred to Konan Railway on 1 November 1984; at that point the Kuroishi Light Railway's station was abolished and absorbed into Kōnan Kuroishi, which was placed under contract management and gained a ticket-vending machine. A new station building was constructed on 1 April 1986, when the station was also renamed simply Kuroishi. The Kuroishi Line was abolished on 1 April 1998. On 1 October 2021 Kōnan Railway began selling its 'Kōnan Tetsudō Inchō' commemorative stamp-book at the station.
Notes
Kuroishi appeared in the 1983 film 'Keiji Monogatari 2: Ringo no Uta', in the form of the then-active JNR Kuroishi Station. The inspection shed used by Kuroishi Line rolling stock still stands on the station grounds; the refuelling stand the line's trains used had been removed by 2014, its site becoming a bicycle park.
