History
Watarase Station opened on 16 December 1927. The station was made unstaffed on 22 June 2020.
Notes
Watarase has an island platform with three tracks, one of which is a siding, and its wooden station building stands on the north side of the line, connected to the platform by an underpass. The station has no automatic ticket gates, only a simple PASMO IC card reader. The Kita-Tatebayashi Demolition Yard of Tōbu's materials management centre, inside the former Kita-Tatebayashi freight handling depot between Watarase and Tajima, has been treated as part of Watarase Station's premises since freight trains ended in 2003; retired vehicles from operators other than Tōbu are also brought there to be scrapped. The station is also the source of the surname of "Watarase Kinu", a character in Tomytec's "Tetsudō Musume" railway-personification figure series.
