History
Aso-Shirakawa Station opened on 12 February 1928 on what was then the Japanese Government Railways Takamori Line. It became an agency-managed station on 1 September 1961, was made unstaffed on 20 February 1971, and was transferred from the Japanese National Railways Takamori Line to the third-sector Minamiaso Railway on 1 April 1986. The April 2016 Kumamoto earthquakes shut the entire Takamori Line; service resumed at Aso-Shirakawa on 31 July 2016 when the Nakamatsu - Takamori section reopened.
