History

Shimo-Sugaya Station opened on 16 November 1897 as a station on the privately owned Ota Railway. The Ota Railway merged with the second Mito Railway on 21 October 1901, and the combined company was nationalised on 1 December 1927, making the station part of the government-run Suigun Line. Freight handling ended on 20 November 1962, and parcel handling along with regular staffing was withdrawn on 1 June 1983, although ticket sales were briefly maintained under local commission. The station joined JR East at the 1 April 1987 privatisation. A simplified ticket vending machine arrived in 2010 and has since been replaced by a boarding certificate machine.
