Jimmachi Station is served by the Ōu Main Line, and is located 106.3 kilometers from the starting point of the line at Fukushima Station.
Station layout
The station originally had one island platform and one side platform; however, with the completion of the Yamagata Shinkansen, the island platform was removed to make way for tracks for the non-stop shinkansen services[1], leaving the station with a single side platform for a bi-directional track. The station is unattended.[2]
History
Jimmachi Station opened on August 23, 1901.[3] The station was absorbed into the JR East network upon the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR) on April 1, 1987.
