History
Nishi-Awakura Station opened on 3 December 1994 with the inaugural service on the Chizu Express Chizu Line, the third-sector successor to the long-stalled JNR Chizu Line project. The station sits in the village of Nishiawakura in Aida District, Okayama Prefecture, 37.4 km from the line's eastern terminus at Kamigōri. Its single side platform on an embankment carries trains running south toward Chizu, with no station building beyond a hut-style waiting room. The station is unstaffed. The Chizu Line provides Nishiawakura with its only direct rail connection to the JR network at Kamigōri.
