Mokichi-Kinenkan-mae

No publicly available departure data for this station.

Mokichi-Kinenkan-mae Station, on the Ōu Main Line in the city of Kaminoyama, Yamagata Prefecture, opened on 1952-12-05 as Kita-Kaminoyama Station (北上ノ山駅). It was absorbed into the JR East network upon the 1987 privatization of Japanese National Railways, and on 1992-07-01 it was renamed Mokichi-Kinenkan-mae after the nearby Saitō Mokichi Memorial Museum dedicated to the tanka poet Saitō Mokichi. The station has two opposed side platforms connected by a level crossing, is unstaffed, and sits 77.8 rail kilometres from the line's southern terminus at Fukushima Station, surrounded by rice paddies and small rural settlements.

The station was renamed in 1992 to advertise the Saitō Mokichi Memorial Museum — one of relatively few JR stations whose name doubles as direct signage for a literary museum.
