History

Ōmagoshi Station is an unstaffed JR East Gonō Line stop in the town of Fukaura, Aomori Prefecture, 39.9 kilometres from the line's terminus at Higashi-Noshiro. It opened on 26 December 1930 as a Railway Ministry station and passed to JR East at the 1 April 1987 JNR break-up. On 1 October 1971 freight and parcels were discontinued and the station was destaffed. The current capsule-style station building, with a waiting room and a now-disused ticket window, dates from a 1979 rebuild. The platform was originally two opposed side platforms but has been reduced to a single side platform. The next station south, Iwadate, lies across the Aomori–Akita prefectural border.

Notes

The stretch of line between Ōmagoshi and the next station south, Iwadate, crosses the Aomori–Akita prefectural border.
