History

Amariko Station is a stop on the Sakai Line in Sakaiminato, Tottori Prefecture, 15.0 km from the line's terminus at Yonago. It was opened on 22 December 1932 by the Railway Ministry between Shinotsu (today's Yonago Airport) and Sakaiminato. Operation was contracted out in April 1962, freight handling ended later that year, and parcel handling was withdrawn in 1972 when the station became unstaffed. The current concrete-block station building dates from March 1978. JR West took over on 1 April 1987 at privatisation, and on 16 March 2019 onboard ICOCA readers became available for use here.

Notes

Every Sakai Line station carries a yōkai nickname; Amariko's is "Konaki Jijii Station," with the adjacent stops bearing the names Sunekosuri and Ittan-momen.
