History

Kita-Noshiro Station was opened on April 26, 1926, as Ugo-Shinonome Station (羽後東雲駅) on the Japanese Government Railways (JGR), serving the village of Shinonome, Akita. It was renamed to its present name on June 15, 1943. The JGR became the JNR (Japan National Railways) after World War II. With the privatization of the JNR on April 1, 1987, the station has been managed by JR East. A new station building was completed in 2009, replacing the modified boxcar which had previously been in use.
