Lines

Uzen-Takamatsu Station is served by the 24.3 km Aterazawa Line from Yamagata to Aterazawa, and is located 21.2 rail kilometers from the starting point of the line at Yamagata.[1]

Station layout

The station has a single side platform serving a single bi-directional track. The station building is designed in the image of nearby Jion-ji temple, which is a National Important Cultural Property.

History

Uzen-Takamatsu Station began operation on 23 April 1922.[2] From 1926 to 1974, the station was also used by the now-defunct Sanzan Line of the Yamagata Railway, and during that period had two opposed side platforms, and a bay platform.[3] With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR East.[1] A new station building was completed in February 2002, replacing a previous structure dating from 1940.

gollark: If you did have a top-down-designed body/brain system, you could have useful features like an immune system which actually provides debug information instead of just mysteriously having you get a fever.
gollark: This reminds me of a paper I vaguely looked at a while ago about abusing human visual processing to do logic gates.
gollark: The decades starting then, I mean.
