Rikuchu-Orii

No publicly available departure data for this station.

Rikuchū-Orii Station opened on 15 January 1924 as a signal stop on the Tōhoku Main Line through what is now the city of Ōshū, Iwate. It was upgraded to a full passenger station on 25 November 1928. The station passed to JR East at the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987. Its building was severely damaged by the 11 March 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, and a replacement structure was completed in December 2011. The unattended station has two opposed side platforms linked by a footbridge, and lies 465.1 kilometres from the official line origin at Tokyo Station.

The 1928 station building survived for more than eight decades before being condemned after the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake; the replacement was completed within nine months.
