History
Ugo-Nagano Station opened on 30 July 1921 as a station on the Ministry of Railways' Obonai Light Railway, serving Nagano village in what is now Daisen, Akita Prefecture. The line was renamed the Obonai Line in 1922 and reorganised into the Tazawako Line on 20 October 1966. Freight handling ended in September 1980, and the station became unstaffed and simply contracted in December 1986. With the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987, operation passed to JR East. The original wooden building stood until 2008; a replacement designed to evoke the local mizu-itakura storehouses was opened on 15 March 2009, with the new structure incorporating a community hall and toilets alongside its 25-square-metre station area.
Notes
The 2009 replacement station building is modelled on the 'mizu-itakura', a designated cultural property in Daisen's Ōkannari district that was historically used to store rice and clothing.
