History
Urizura Station opened on 12 June 1918 as a stop on the second Mito Railway, in what is today the city of Naka, Ibaraki. The Mito Railway was nationalised on 1 December 1927, placing the station on the national rail network. It was absorbed into JR East on 1 April 1987 with the privatisation of Japanese National Railways. The station has a single island platform and a staffed, elevated station building, the entrance to which sits on a cantilever pedestrian overpass connecting the platform to the surrounding road network; it lies 16.7 rail kilometres from Mito at the Suigun Line's southern end.
