History
Tsugaru-Goshogawara Station is on the Tsugaru Railway Line in Ōmachi, Goshogawara, Aomori, Japan, sharing the JR Gonō Line's Goshogawara Station building (a joint-use arrangement). The Tsugaru Railway started running into the joint station on 15 July 1930 — originally named simply Goshogawara — and was renamed Tsugaru-Goshogawara on 10 July 1956 when it was separated from the JNR side. The station went into business commission on 1 March 1958. As of FY2024 it serves as the southern terminus of the Tsugaru Railway Line (20.7 km to Tsugaru-Nakasato), and is most famous for the Stove Train winter service.

Notes
Goshogawara Station and its connected Tsugaru-Goshogawara Station have served as the regional administrative hub for branch lines — JR's branch-line and Gonō Line Operations Office "Gonō-sen Eigyōsho" was set up in JR's premises here in December 1989, and from 2010 onward Goshogawara has managed the unstaffed Ōmagoshi–Kazamose stations on the Gonō Line after their previous supervisor at Fukaura was demoted.
