History
Ugo-Iizuka Station opened on November 17, 1927 as a Ministry of Railways station in the former village of Iidagawa, in what is now the city of Katagami, Akita Prefecture. Freight handling ended in October 1970 and the station was unstaffed from July 1982. With the April 1, 1987 privatisation of Japan National Railways, it passed to East Japan Railway Company (JR East). Management responsibility moved from Hachirogata to Tsuchizaki in April 2010. Construction of a new station building began in July 2016 and the structure entered service that December. From March 2018, the station became a regular call for Ōu Main Line rapid services. It is now a simplified-commission station under Tsuchizaki Station.
Notes
On August 12, 1947, the Showa Emperor's postwar tour of Japan included a special train run that arrived at Ugo-Iizuka from Takanosu and departed for Akita, briefly making the station an imperial waypoint.
