Location

History

Mamurogawa Station opened on 21 October 1904 as Aramachi Station, when the Ōu South Line (now the Ōu Main Line) was extended from Shinjō to Innai; at the time only this station, Kamabuchi and Nozoki served the stretch between Shinjō and Innai. It was renamed to match the town on 20 September 1916. A footbridge was completed on 4 November 1966, the station was contracted out from 20 March 1982 and made staff-less on 1 April 1986 under a simple consignment. JR East took over at the 1 April 1987 privatisation. The current two-storey wood-and-tile station building dates from December 2003 and houses a local-products shop and a waiting room; the consignee handles ticket sales.

Notes

The station building rebuilt in December 2003 carries a hanging sign reading "Mori no Teishaba" (Forest Whistle-stop).
