• Hokuhoku Line: Uragawara ⇄ Hokuhoku-Oshima

Mushigawa-Ōsugi Station opened on 22 March 1997 with the inauguration of the Hokuetsu Express Hokuhoku Line. The station is located in the Uragawara district of Jōetsu in Niigata Prefecture, 44.8 km from the line's southern terminus at Muikamachi, and is named after the giant Mushigawa cedar—a nationally designated natural monument standing at the nearby Hakusan Shrine. The station has two opposed side platforms in a 'single-line throughput' layout; platform 1 is long enough to handle the nine-car limited-express Hakutaka and seasonal Shupuru ski-train consists that ran here before March 2015. In fiscal 2016 the station averaged 157 boarding passengers per day.

The station's platform-passing chime is the same melody once used as the departure jingle at Seibu-Chichibu Station on the Seibu Chichibu Line, sourced from electronics manufacturer Kanno.
