History

Narutō Station opened on 1 May 1897. During World War II, on 13 August 1945, a train containing five passenger carriages and four freight carriages was strafed by American aircraft while stopped at Narutō Station. The freight cars contained four anti-aircraft guns and ammunition, which were ignited in the attack. Although station workers and members of the Imperial Japanese Army 3rd Guards Division attempted to extinguish the fire, the resultant explosion killed 15 civilian station staff and 27 soldiers. A memorial to the event was erected at the station in 1957.
