History[]

Hanamaki Station opened on 1 November 1890.[1] The Iwate Light Railway (岩手軽便鉄道) (the forerunner of the Kamaishi Line) established its terminus at Hanamaki on 25 October 1913.[1] The two stations were amalgamated on 20 September 1943.[1] The station was absorbed into the JR East network upon the privatization of the Japanese National Railways (JNR) on 1 April 1987.[1]

The station building was renovated in 2014 with a style evoking the early 20th-century Taishō period portrayed in works by author Kenji Miyazawa, with work completed on 21 September 2014.[2]

Passenger statistics[]

In fiscal 2018, the station was used by an average of 3,287 passengers daily (boarding passengers only).[3] The passenger figures for previous years are as shown below.
