History


Namegawa Island Station was opened as a seasonal station on July 2, 1970 to cater to the summer tourist traffic to the nearby Namegawa Island Amusement Park. A number of express trains began stopping at the station from July 18, 1970. The station was upgraded to a year-around station from April 1, 1987, but was made unattended at the same time. The station was absorbed into the JR East network upon the privatization of the Japan National Railways (JNR) on April 1, 1987. The station became a kan'i itaku station in 1990. However, with the closure of the Namekawa Island Amusement Park on August 31, 2001, the station was again unattended, and express trains services were discontinued. The station building was remodeled in January 2008.

In fiscal 2006, the station was used by an average of 19 passengers daily (boarding passengers only).[1]
