Sekito

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

Sekito Station opened on 15 July 1899 on the privately built Gan'etsu Railway and was nationalised on 1 November 1906. The unusual name was coined by combining the names of two nearby hamlets, Sekiwaki and Miyakozawa. Located in the town of Inawashiro in Fukushima Prefecture on what is now JR East's Ban'etsu West Line, it has two opposed side platforms serving two tracks. Freight ended on 1 October 1961, parcel handling and station staffing on 1 September 1972, and the station became fully unstaffed on 10 March 1983 with the line's CTC rollout. JR East took over on 1 April 1987, and the station building was rebuilt in a brick-style design in December 2001.

The station name was coined by combining one character from each of two nearby hamlets, Sekiwaki and Miyakozawa.
