Location

History

Mitsuma Station opened on 1 November 1913 as a stop on the Jōsō Railroad in what is today the city of Jōsō, Ibaraki Prefecture. The operator merged with the original Tsukuba Railway on 30 March 1945 to form Jōsō-Tsukuba Railway, and that company in turn merged with Kashima Sangū Railway on 1 June 1965 to create the present-day Kantō Railway. PASMO IC-card service began on 14 March 2009 and a shared-bicycle programme ("Kantetsu Pedal") launched at the station alongside Mitsukaidō on 1 September 2023. The station has a single island platform serving two tracks across a level crossing; the station building historically doubled as the station-master's residence, and operations were entrusted to that family in the years before destaffing.

Notes

Before Mitsuma was destaffed, the station building doubled as the station master's home, and the family living there was entrusted with the station's day-to-day duties.
