History

Aokura Station sits on the JR West Bantan Line in the city of Asago, Hyōgo Prefecture, 55.6 kilometres from the line terminus at Himeji. It opened on 10 August 1934 and passed to JR West with the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987. The station is unstaffed and consists of a single ground-level side platform serving a bidirectional track. Its name derives from Aokura Shrine, about five kilometres east of the station, popularly venerated in Japan as the "God of Eyes". In fiscal 2016 the station averaged 52 passengers per day.

Notes
