History
Nanukamachi Station opened on 1 November 1934 as an intermediate stop on the initial eastern segment of the Japanese National Railways Aizu Line between Aizu-Wakamatsu and Aizu-Yanaizu, then served only by gasoline railcars. Operations were suspended from 20 June 1945 to 20 June 1946 during the closing months of the war and the immediate aftermath. The stop was staffed from December 1948 to March 1984, when it reverted to unstaffed operation. The station was absorbed into the JR East network on 1 April 1987 at the privatisation of JNR. A new retro-styled station building was completed on 28 July 2002 and the in-station "EkiCafé" shop opened the same day. Aizu Railway Aizu Line trains call here on through-runs from Nishi-Wakamatsu.
Notes
Although the place name is read "Nanokamachi" in everyday use, the station name is read "Nanukamachi". The district name itself refers to the market that was held there on the seventh day of the month in the Edo period.
