  ## History
  
  The station opened on 28 January 1950, as part of the Japan National Railways (JNR). From 14 March 2015, with the opening of the Hokuriku Shinkansen extension from Nagano to Kanazawa, local passenger operations over sections of the Shinetsu Main Line and Hokuriku Main Line running roughly parallel to the new shinkansen line were reassigned to third-sector railway operating companies. From this date, Uramoto Station was transferred to the ownership of the third-sector operating company Echigo Tokimeki Railway.
