History

Hachimori Station was opened on April 26, 1926 as Tsubaki Station (椿駅) on the Japanese Government Railways (JGR) serving the village of Hachimori, Akita. The JGR became the JNR (Japan National Railways) after World War II. The station was renamed to its present name on November 1, 1959. A new station building was completed in 1985. With the privatization of the JNR on April 1, 1987, the station has been managed by JR East. The station has been unattended since 1990.
