History

Uragawara Station opened on 22 March 1997 with the inauguration of the Hokuetsu Express Hokuhoku Line, the third-sector route running the full distance between Muikamachi and Saigata. The station is sited 46.8 km from the line's starting point at Muikamachi, on an elevated single side platform with no passing loop, and is unstaffed. On 18 April 2017, after a June 2016 agreement between Hokuetsu Express and Sagawa Express, the station began participating in a mixed passenger-and-freight (kakyaku konsai) delivery operation that uses scheduled trains between Muikamachi and Uragawara to carry parcels.

Notes

Since April 2017, Hokuhoku Line scheduled trains between Muikamachi and Uragawara have carried Sagawa Express parcels under a mixed passenger-and-freight (kakyaku konsai) arrangement between Hokuetsu Express and Sagawa Express.
