Location

History

Ubashima Station opened on 10 February 1959 on the Agatsuma Line in what is now Shibukawa, Gunma Prefecture, 7.7 km from the line's terminus at Shibukawa, and passed to JR East at the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987. The station was absorbed into JR East's Tokyo near-suburban zone on 1 October 2014. The unattended station consists of a single side platform with a shelter; there is no station building, so passengers buy tickets from the conductor on board.

Notes

The station's name is written 祖母島 — characters meaning "grandmother island" — and is read Ubashima, the same reading as the Ubashima district of Shibukawa in which the station stands.
