Location
History
Shibajuku Station opened on 15 May 1962 as a petition station — built at the request of the local community — on the Ōfunato Line in what is now Ichinoseki, Iwate. It has been unattended from the day it opened. The station joined JR East at the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987. It sits 26.1 rail kilometres from the line origin at Ichinoseki Station and has a single ground-level side platform serving a single bi-directional track. The station occupies the north-west corner of the so-called "saucepan-handle" route that the Ōfunato Line traces through the area.
Notes
Shibajuku sits at the north-west corner of the so-called "nabezuru" ("saucepan-handle") detour the Ōfunato Line takes through Iwate.
