History
The station opened on 8 November 1953 as Aizu-Takinohara Station (会津滝ノ原駅) on the JNR Aizu Line. The Yagan Railway groundbreaking was held here in May 1966. In November 1985 it was reduced to a single track and station-side operation control was abolished. On 9 October 1986 the Yagan Railway Aizu Kinugawa Line opened to here and the station was renamed Aizukōgen, with Yagan Railway taking over ticket and gate work. After the 1987 JNR privatization briefly brought the Aizu Line under JR East, the line transferred to the third-sector Aizu Railway on 16 July 1987. The section between here and Aizu-Tajima was electrified on 12 October 1990 and the station was renamed to its present form on 18 March 2006.
