Location
History
Ayaragi opened on 22 April 1914 as a station on the Chōshū Railway, a privately operated local line in western Yamaguchi Prefecture serving what is now Shimonoseki. The route was nationalised on 1 June 1925, becoming part of the Railway Ministry's Kogushi Line, and was renamed the San'in Main Line on 24 February 1933. Parcel handling ended on 1 February 1984. The 1 April 1987 JNR privatisation gave the station to JR West, and it was made fully unstaffed on 1 October 2020. The layout is a single side platform serving one bi-directional track — a stub-track stopping place rather than a junction. The station is in the residential Kawanaka district about 2.5 kilometres from Shin-Shimonoseki.
Notes
No bus route directly serves the station; the nearest stop, 'Ayaragi Shisho-mae', is about 170 metres away in front of the Shimonoseki city Kawanaka branch office.
