History
Agematsu Station opened on 5 October 1910 as the terminus of the state-operated railway's extension from Suhara, in the town of Agematsu, Nagano Prefecture. Within weeks the line was extended on to Kiso-Fukushima, making Agematsu an intermediate station. The line was reclassified from the Chūō West Line into the Chūō Main Line on 1 May 1911. The current reinforced-concrete station building was completed in April 1951. With the breakup of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987, the station passed to Central Japan Railway Company (JR Tōkai).
