History
Maruyamashita Station opened on 10 November 1928 as part of the original Jomo Line, in the city of Kiryu, Gunma Prefecture. The station name comes from the nearby Mount Maruyama. It sits 24.3 km from the terminus at Chuo-Maebashi and has always been a small unstaffed stop with a single side platform serving traffic in both directions. Among one-platform stations on the line, Maruyamashita is the only one whose platform sits on the south side of the track. The Watarase River runs nearby, crossed by the Akaiwa Bridge.
