Location
History
Ogawagō Station opened on July 10, 1915 as a Japanese Government Railways general station on what is now the Ban'etsu East Line, in the present-day city of Iwaki, Fukushima. Freight handling outside a Sumitomo Cement private siding ended in October 1972, and full car-load freight was retired in July 1985. The station was absorbed into JR East at the 1987 JNR privatization and was destaffed in March 1989 when the line went to CTC operation. JR East announced a rebuild in mid-2023, started work that September, and put the new station building into service on 19 March 2024. The station is 10.3 rail kilometers from Iwaki.
Notes
The station's underground passage is hung with a framed tribute to the poet Kusano Shinpei, who came from Ogawa-machi, alongside paintings by local schoolchildren; his birthplace house stands near the station.
