History

Uedahara Station opened on 17 June 1921 on the Ueda Onsen Dentetsu network as a junction between the Aoki Line and Kawanishi Line. The original on-street stop was replaced by a second station in 1927 when the Shiroshita–Uedahara segment was partially doubled, and after the Aoki Line was abolished in 1938 the site was converted to house the railway's carbarn and rolling-stock works. The carshops were transferred to Shimo-no-go in 1986, and the present third-generation station opened at its current location on 8 November 1992, accompanied by track realignment and the construction of new platform facilities. Uedahara received station number BE05 with the August 2016 introduction of station numbering on the Ueda Electric Railway Bessho Line.

Notes

The site of the present Uedahara Station takes in part of the former carbarn lot, where a dual-height platform — built to serve both the low-floor tram cars and the high-floor rolling stock that once shared the line — survived as one of the Aoki Line's few known remains until it was removed when the station was relocated to its current site.
