History
Ayukawa Station opened on August 1, 1922 as a station on the Yokojō Railway, which became the Japanese Government Railways (JGR) Yashima Line on September 1, 1937. On that date, it was renamed Ugo-Ayukawa Station (羽後鮎川駅). The JGR became the Japan National Railway (JNR) after World War II. The Yashima Line was privatized on 1 October 1985, becoming the Yuri Kōgen Railway Chōkai Sanroku Line, at which time the station reassumed its original name. A new station building was completed in December 2003.
