• Hokuhoku Line: Ōike-Ikoi-no-mori ⇄ Mushigawa-Ōsugi

Uragawara Station opened on 22 March 1997 with the inauguration of the Hokuetsu Express Hokuhoku Line, the third-sector route built largely as a Hakutaka feeder linking Echigo-Yuzawa with the Niigata Pacific coast. The station is sited 46.8 km from the line's southern terminus at Muikamachi, on an elevated single side platform with no passing loop. In April 2017, after a June 2016 agreement between Hokuetsu Express and Sagawa Express, the station began participating in a mixed passenger-and-freight 'kakkaku konsai' delivery operation that uses scheduled trains between Muikamachi and Uragawara to carry parcels.

Since April 2017 Hokuhoku Line scheduled trains between Muikamachi and Uragawara have carried Sagawa Express parcels, an early example of Japanese passenger-and-freight 'kakkaku konsai' operation.
