Awa-Kominato Station opened on 15 April 1929 on the Japanese Government Railways' Sotobō Line in what is now Kamogawa, Chiba Prefecture. The station sits at the centre of the former town of Kominato and serves the head temple of the Nichiren sect, Tanjō-ji, drawing pilgrim traffic, and all Wakashio limited-express trains call at the station. Freight handling ended on 1 October 1962 and parcels handling on 1 March 1972. Following the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987 the station passed to JR East, and Suica IC-card service began on 14 March 2009. The Midori-no-Madoguchi reserved-ticket counter closed on 12 December 2017.

The Kominato Railway is named for this district, and its line was originally planned to be extended as far as the vicinity of Awa-Kominato Station, but the work was halted by the financial crisis of the early Shōwa era and the licence was finally revoked on 28 October 1936.
