History
Amaya Station opened on 7 August 1999 on the Aizu Railway Aizu Line, located 7.8 rail kilometres from the line's starting point at Nishi-Wakamatsu. Set in the Ōtomachi district of Aizuwakamatsu, Fukushima Prefecture, the unstaffed stop has a single side platform serving a bidirectional track and no station building — only a shelter beside the platform. The site is in the Aizuwakamatsu district of Miyauchi and lies along National Route 49. The station is operated by the Aizu Railway, which took over the former JNR Aizu Line and added Amaya during the post-privatisation development of local rural services.
