Motoyoshi Station (本吉駅, Motoyoshi-eki) was a railway station in the city of Kesennuma, Miyagi, Japan, operated by East Japan Railway Company (JR East) until 2011. The station became a stop on the replacement bus rapid transit (BRT) line following the March 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami.
Lines[edit]
Motoyoshi Station was served by the Kesennuma Line, and was located 51.5 rail kilometers from the terminus of the line at Maeyachi Station.
Station layout[edit]
The station had a single island platform connected to the station building by a footbridge. The station was unattended.
History[edit]
Motoyoshi Station opened on 11 February 1957.[1] The station was absorbed into the JR East network upon the privatization of the Japanese National Railways (JNR) on 1 April 1987.[1] The station itself was only slightly damaged by 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, however, rail services on the line were subsequently replaced by a bus rapid transit (BRT) line.
