History
Wakamiya Station opened on 1 November 1934 as a passenger-only intermediate stop on the eastern section of the Japanese National Railways Tadami Line between Aizu-Wakamatsu and Aizu-Yanaizu. Operations were suspended from 10 June 1945 to 10 June 1946 during the final months of the war and the immediate postwar period. The station sits in the town of Aizubange in Fukushima Prefecture, 18.9 kilometers from Aizu-Wakamatsu, with one side platform serving a single bi-directional track and a small shelter built directly on the platform. JR East took over the station with the 1 April 1987 privatization of Japanese National Railways.
