Uzen-Chitose

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

Uzen-Chitose Station, in the city of Yamagata, opened on 17 October 1933 along the Senzan West Line as part of the route extending toward Yamadera. Operated by Japanese National Railways for most of the twentieth century, it passed to JR East with the 1987 privatization. The station is the junction between the Senzan Line (narrow gauge) and the Ōu Main Line, the latter rebuilt to standard gauge for Yamagata Shinkansen service. The former station building was demolished in December 1999 and replaced with a footbridge that doubles as the entrance, reflecting the station's shift to an unstaffed at-grade facility serving local Yamagata-bound and Sendai-bound trains.

Although both railway lines share the station, their tracks meet at a flat crossing on the south side and use different gauges, so trains cannot pass or overtake one another here.
