History

Narusawa Station opened on May 15, 1925 on what is now the Gonō Line, serving the rural town of Ajigasawa, 108.3 kilometres from the line terminus at Higashi-Noshiro. Freight and parcels handling were discontinued on October 1, 1971, when the station also became unstaffed, though a single attendant was posted for daytime passenger service (except Sundays and holidays) until the end of March 1972; the station became a simplified-consignment (kan'i itaku) stop on July 1, 1972. With the privatisation of JNR on April 1, 1987, operational control passed to JR East. A new station building, of restrained timber construction with few windows, was completed in August 2012; Eki-net Q-Chike service began on October 1, 2024.
