History
Aizu-Sakamoto Station opened on 20 November 1928 as a general station on the Japanese National Railways Tadami Line, sharing its opening date with several other stops on the line's eastern section. The station sits in the town of Aizubange in Fukushima Prefecture, with a single side platform serving one bi-directional track, and an unusual depot fashioned from a converted Wara 1-class freight boxcar installed in April 1984 to replace the original 1927 wooden structure. Freight and parcels were abolished on 29 August 1971, the station was unstaffed at that point, and JR East took over on 1 April 1987.
