History
Nihonmatsu Station opened on 1887-12-15 on the Tōhoku Main Line, 250.3 kilometres north of Tokyo. The present station building was completed in September 1976. JR East absorbed the station at JNR privatisation on 1987-04-01. The platform layout consists of two opposed side platforms linked by a footbridge, with a staffed Midori no Madoguchi ticket office in the building. The station is the primary rail gateway to the city of Nihonmatsu in central Fukushima Prefecture, sitting alongside National Route 4 and providing access to the historic castle town that gives the line its character.
