Ōsawa Station (大沢駅, Ōsawa-eki) is a railway station in the city of Yonezawa, Yamagata Prefecture, Japan, operated by East Japan Railway Company (JR East).
Lines
[edit ]Ōsawa Station is served by the Ōu Main Line, and is located 28.8 rail kilometers from the terminus of the line at Fukushima Station.
Station layout
[edit ]The station has two opposed unnumbered side platforms connected via a level crossing. The station is located within a snow shelter, due to the very heavy snowfall in the region in winter. The station is unattended.
Platforms
[edit ]History
[edit ]Ōsawa Station began as a signal stop on 15 May 1899 and was elevated to a full passenger station on 25 December 1906.[1] The station was absorbed into the JR East network upon the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987.
Future plans
[edit ]The station will be bypassed by all trains between 10 January 2023 and 26 March 2023 owing to extremely low ridership.[2] By 2005, daily ridership had fallen to an average of two users per day.[3]
