History
Monden Station opened on 1 November 1927 on the Ministry of Railways Aizu Line, in what is now the city of Aizuwakamatsu, Fukushima Prefecture. Freight handling ended in June 1977 and parcel handling in February 1984. With the 1 April 1987 privatization of the Japanese National Railways, the station briefly came under the East Japan Railway Company (JR East), but on 16 July 1987 the line was transferred to the third-sector Aizu Railway. The station has been unstaffed since the transfer, when a passing-loop layout with two opposed side platforms was reintroduced. The original wooden building has been replaced with a simple shelter serving primarily as a waiting room.
