History
Rikuchū-Orii Station opened on 15 January 1924 as a signal stop on the Tōhoku Main Line through what is now the city of Ōshū, Iwate. It was upgraded to a full passenger station on 25 November 1928. The station passed to JR East at the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987. Its building was severely damaged by the 11 March 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, and a replacement structure was completed in December 2011. The unattended station has two opposed side platforms linked by a footbridge, and lies 465.1 kilometres from the official line origin at Tokyo Station.
Notes
The station building was heavily damaged by the 11 March 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, and its replacement was completed in December 2011, roughly nine months later.
