Location

History

Manza-Kazawaguchi Station opened on 7 March 1971 when the Agatsuma Line was extended from Naganohara (today's Naganohara-Kusatsuguchi) to its present terminus at Ōmae. The station took its hyphenated name as a compromise between rival Manza and Kazawa hot-spring interests, each of which pressed for top billing; it remains the only JR station to include a nakaguro (middle-dot) in its name. The station passed to JR East at the 1987 privatisation of Japanese National Railways, joined the Tokyo near-suburban zone with Suica acceptance in October 2014, and was made fully unstaffed in April 2017.

Notes

Manza-Kazawaguchi is the only station in the JR network whose name contains a nakaguro (middle dot).
