Location

History

Niitsuki Station opened on 1929-07-31 on the Ōfunato Line in what is now Ichinoseki, Iwate Prefecture. Freight handling ended on 1962-03-01, and parcel handling ceased on 1972-11-01, when the station was also made unattended. It passed to JR East at the 1987-04-01 privatisation of the Japanese National Railways. The station has a single side platform serving bidirectional traffic, a simple block-built shelter, and is managed remotely from Kesennuma Station.

Notes

Although named after the former Niitsuki village in Miyagi Prefecture, the station itself sits about 80 metres inside Iwate Prefecture because suitable flat ground on the Miyagi side could not be found.
