History
J-Village Station opened on 20 April 2019 as a seasonal Jōban Line halt serving the adjacent J-Village football training centre, which had reopened that same day after years of use as a base for Fukushima Daiichi recovery operations. Construction was approved by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism on 28 March 2018, a ground-breaking ceremony was held on 22 May 2018, and the station name was finalised on 11 October 2018. The 215-metre platforms can accommodate ten-car limited express trains. On 14 March 2020 the seasonal halt was promoted to a permanent station and incorporated into the Tokyo Suica area.
