History

Komagamine Station opened on July 10, 1952. The station was absorbed into the JR East network upon the privatization of the Japanese National Railways (JNR) on April 1, 1987.

The station building escaped serious damage from the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami on 11 March 2011, but the tracks and adjacent stations were destroyed, and services were suspended.[1][2] The station reopened on 10 December 2016.[3]

gollark: See? Vague but slightly useful.
gollark: "Reverse engineering includes but is not limited to:- accessing the site's code to figure out how a thing works- blahblah"
gollark: You'd keep the vagueness and be not entirely useless!
gollark: "Do not reverse engineer, blahblah - don't do X Y Z or similar"
gollark: Anyway, even with the vague phrasing kept, some sort of extra clarity would be nice.
