Rikuchu-Natsui

Departure data for this station is not available on this site.

Rikuchū-Natsui Station opened on 27 March 1930 as a Ministry of Railways station on what is now the Hachinohe Line, sited in the coastal area now part of Kuji, Iwate Prefecture. Freight handling ended on 1 April 1970, and the station was made unstaffed on 15 August 1971. On 16 October 1984 the building was replaced by a converted JNR class Wafu 29500 brake-van freight car. Following the privatisation of JNR on 1 April 1987 it joined JR East. Like the rest of the Hachinohe Line the station was suspended after the 11 March 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, and reopened on 17 March 2012. The single ground-level side platform now serves one bidirectional track.

The "station building" is a class Wafu 29500 brake-van freight car converted in 1984 — passengers wait inside a body that once ran at the rear of a JNR goods train.
