History

Ichinowatari Station opened on 1972-02-27 as an unstaffed station on the Japanese National Railways Miyako Line. The line was transferred to the third-sector Sanriku Railway on 1984-04-01 and became part of the Kita-Rias Line (now the Rias Line). The Tōhoku Earthquake of 2011-03-11 closed the line entirely; service between Miyako and Tarō, which includes this station, resumed on 2011-03-20. Trapped between tunnels on either side, the unstaffed station has a single island platform serving two tracks.

Notes

Set among the mountains where Japanese bush warblers and cuckoos can often be heard, the station has been given the nickname 'Uguisu no Komichi' — 'Path of the Warbler'.
