History

Aizu-Kawaguchi Station opened on September 20, 1956, as the terminus of an extension of the eastern section of the Tadami Line from the previous terminus at Aizu-Miyashita. In 1963, the line was extended from Aizu-Kawaguchi to a new terminus at Tadami.[1] The station was absorbed into the JR East network upon the privatization of the Japanese National Railways (JNR) on April 1, 1987.

Due to damage caused by torrential rainfall on July 30, 2011, services between Aizu-Kawaguchi and Tadami stations were replaced by a provisional bus service. The closed section resumed operations on 1 October 2022.[2]

Passenger statistics

In fiscal 2017, the station was used by an average of 57 passengers daily (boarding passengers only).[3]
