Location
History
Oguni Station opened on 30 October 1935 with the extension of the Yonesaka East Line from Uzen-Numazawa, in the town of Oguni in Yamagata Prefecture. Freight handling was withdrawn in March 1985, and the station passed to JR East at the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987. A staffed Midori no Madoguchi ticket office opened in December 1990. The station has one side platform and one island platform connected by a footbridge, retains a wooden station building, and continues to host the JR East operations centre coordinating Yonesaka Line traffic between Imaizumi and Sakamachi (the "Oguni Command").
Notes
Oguni's red-roofed white-walled wooden station building was selected as one of the Tōhoku Top 100 Stations in 2002 for the striking contrast between its roof and walls.
