History
Oku-Nikkawa Station opened on 10 November 1937 on the Senzan Line in Aoba-ku, Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture, operated today by East Japan Railway Company. The unstaffed station sits 33.8 rail kilometres from the line's starting point at Sendai and is laid out with two opposed side platforms connected to the station building by a level crossing. It passed to JR East on 1 April 1987 with the privatisation of Japanese National Railways. The station is deep in mountainous countryside near the former Nikkawa mine and a riverside camp ground, and is one of several stops on the line where some local trains pass through without calling.
