No publicly available departure data for this station.

Uchigamaki Station is on JR East's Iiyama Line in Ojiya, Niigata Prefecture. It opened on 15 June 1927 when the Tōkamachi Line was extended from Echigo-Kawaguchi to Echigo-Iwasawa; the line was renamed the Iiyama Line on 1 June 1944. The station became business-contracted from 1 December 1962, ended freight in 1963 and parcels and staffing in 1970, came under JR East on 1 April 1987, and received a new station building in 1997. Until 31 March 2010 the entire Iiyama Line outside Echigo-Kawaguchi Station was under the Nagano Branch; the Niigata-side stations (between Morimiyanohara and Echigo-Kawaguchi) including Uchigamaki transferred to the Niigata Branch on 1 April 2010.

The pre-1997 wooden building at Uchigamaki was used as a film location around 1994 for Makoto Wada's "Kowagaru Hitobito — Norikoshi-eki no Keibatsu" (Frightened People).
