Ugo-Kameda

Departure data for this station is not available on this site.

Ugo-Kameda Station opened on 30 July 1920 as a station on the Japanese Government Railways' Rikuusai Line, serving the village of Matsugasaki in what is now Yurihonjō, Akita Prefecture. It was switched to control of the Uetsu Main Line on 20 April 1924. Freight handling ended in October 1969 and parcel service in October 1981, when the station became unstaffed and simply contracted. Privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987 placed it under JR East. On 18 March 2023 all local trains were consolidated onto Platform 1 to remove the need to use the footbridge, and the simple-contract sales arrangement with Yurihonjō City was discontinued, leaving the station permanently unstaffed.

Platforms 2 and 3, on Ugo-Kameda's island platform, are now listed only as reserve platforms, even though the tracks beside them are the main line through the station and carry limited express Inaho services and freight trains. The station also keeps a stub-end siding, which can be entered from the Sakata end of Platform 1.
