Sugaya

No publicly available departure data for this station.

Sugaya Station opened on 10 October 1948 on the Ban'etsu East Line in the city of Tamura, Fukushima Prefecture, and is notable as the highest-elevation station on the line. Freight handling ceased in 1972 and parcel handling in 1984, and the station was destaffed in 1986 although ticketing continued via staff dispatched from Ono-Niimachi. Following the privatisation of the Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987, the station was absorbed into the East Japan Railway Company network. A new station building, drawing visual references from the nearby Irimizu Limestone Cave and the watershed location of the line, entered service on 8 February 2020, and the station became fully unstaffed in March 2024.
