It is a "seasonal" station which serves the nearby Kairaku-en gardens, and is open only during the plum blossom season in February and March. Some Hitachi and Tokiwa limited express services also stop at the station during this period.[2]
Kairakuen Station is served by the Jōban Line from Ueno Station in Tokyo. Located between Akatsuka and Mito stations, it is 113.4 km from the starting point of the Joban Line at Ueno Station.[3]
The station consists of a single side platform serving the down (Mito-bound) track only. Up (Ueno-bound) trains do not stop at this station.
