History
Wadō-Kuroya Station opened on 27 October 1914 as Kuroya Station on the Chichibu Railway Chichibu Main Line, serving the Kuroya district of what is today the city of Chichibu in Saitama Prefecture. The station was renamed Wadō-Kuroya on 1 April 2008 to mark the 1,300th anniversary of the dedication of the natural copper (wadō) mined at the nearby Wadō ruins. PASMO IC-card acceptance began on 12 March 2022, on which date the station also became unstaffed. It carries the station number CR28 and has a wooden station building alongside an island platform serving two tracks.
Notes
A large monument in the shape of a wadōkaichin coin stands on the platform, marking the station as the nearest stop to the Wadō ruins, where the natural copper known as wadō was mined.
