Station layout

Aburakawa Station has one side platform serving a single bi-directional track.

The short platform requires that trains longer than seven carriages use a door cut system.

History

Aburakawa Station was opened on December 5, 1951, as a station on the Japanese National Railways (JNR). Freight operations were discontinued from July 1970. The station became a kan'i itaku station on April 1, 1971, operated by the Japan Travel Bureau. With the privatization of the JNR on April 1, 1987, it came under the operational control of JR East and was operated by JR East until October 1, 2003, when it again became a kan'i itaku station, this time under the Jaster Corporation.
