Jinmachi Station

Jimmachi Station (神町駅, Jimmachi-eki) is a railway station in the city of Higashine, Yamagata Prefecture, Japan, operated by East Japan Railway Company (JR East).

Lines

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, leaving the station with a single side platform for a bi-directional track. The station is unattended.
