History

[edit]

Aizu-Shiozawa Station was opened by the Japanese National Railways (JNR) on February 1, 1965, as an intermediate station on the extension of eastern section of the Tadami Line between Aizu-Kawaguchi and Tadami.[1] The station was absorbed into the JR East network upon the privatization of the JNR on April 1, 1987.

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