History

J-Village Station opened on 20 April 2019 as a seasonal Jōban Line halt serving the adjacent J-Village football training centre, which had reopened that same day after years of use as a base for Fukushima Daiichi recovery operations. Construction was approved by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism on 28 March 2018, a ground-breaking ceremony was held on 22 May 2018, and the station name was finalised on 11 October 2018. The 215-metre platforms can accommodate ten-car limited express trains. On 14 March 2020 the seasonal halt was promoted to a permanent station and incorporated into the Tokyo Suica area.

Notes

It was the last railway station in Japan to open during the Heisei era, and remains the only Japanese station with the kana ヴ in its name.
