Location
History
Tsugaru-Futamata Station opened on 21 October 1958 as a Japanese National Railways station when the Kanita–Mimmaya segment of the Tsugaru Line was built; after the 1987 privatisation it came under JR East. Located in Imabetsu, Higashitsugaru District, Aomori, it sits immediately next to (but is not the same station as) the Hokkaido Shinkansen's Okutsugaru-Imabetsu Station, which opened on 26 March 2016 as a successor to the Kaikyō Line's Tsugaru-Imabetsu Station. Imabetsu Town is on the north end of the Tsugaru Peninsula, facing Mimmaya Bay; the present municipality dates from 31 March 1955, when Imabetsu Village and Ippongi Village were merged. Despite hosting a Shinkansen station, it is the least-populous municipality in Japan with a Shinkansen stop.
Notes
The Kanita–Mimmaya section of the Tsugaru Line, which includes Tsugaru-Futamata, has been closed to trains since heavy rain damaged the track in August 2022 and has not reopened; under an agreement reached on 10 June 2025, the station is to be abolished on 1 April 2027.
