Iragawa

No publicly available departure data for this station.

Iragawa Station opened on 18 March 1923 with the inauguration of the Rikuu West Line section between Sanze and Atsumi (now Atsumi Onsen). It became a Uetsu Line station on 31 July 1924, and on 20 November 1925 it was incorporated into the Uetsu Main Line. Freight and parcel handling ended on 1 September 1972, leaving the station unattended. With the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987 it passed to the East Japan Railway Company (JR East). When the Atsumi-Iragawa section was double-tracked in 1970, the alignment was shifted slightly inland and the rebuilt right-of-way uses the new Iragawa Tunnel.
