History
Ajigasawa Station was opened on May 15, 1925, as a station on the Japanese Government Railways (JGR). With the privatization of the Japanese National Railways (successor of JGR) on April 1, 1987, it came under the operational control of JR East. A new station building was completed in 1991. From April 1, 2003, it has been a kan'i itaku station, administered by Goshogawara Station, and operated by Ajigasawa municipal authority, with point-of-sales terminal installed.
