History

Kurosawa Station opened on August 1, 1922 as the Kurosawa Signal Stop (黒沢停留場) on the Yokojō Railway, which became the Japanese Government Railways (JGR) Yashima Line on September 1, 1937. On that date, it was elevated to a full station, named Ugo-Kurosawa Station (羽後黒沢駅). The JGR became the Japan National Railway (JNR) after World War II. The station has been unattended since October 1971. The Yashima Line was privatized on 1 October 1985, becoming the Yuri Kōgen Railway Chōkai Sanroku Line, at which time the station assumed its present name. A new station building was completed in December 2003.
