Maekawa

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

Maekawa Station opened on 29 September 1963 as Maekawa Signal Box (前川信号場) of the Japanese National Railways, and was promoted to a station on 15 August 1964. It passed to JR East at privatisation on 1 April 1987. Platform numbering (1 and 2) was introduced in August 2017, and an upgraded east-side plaza opened on 7 June 2018.

The two platforms have no connecting link inside the station — there is neither a footbridge nor a level crossing within the station grounds — so passengers must use either the underground passage beside the station building or the level crossing on the Niigata side.
