History

Hachinohe Station opened on 1 September 1891 as Shiriuchi Station of the private Nippon Railway's Aomori Line, in what was then the village of Kami-Naganawashiro, west of Hachinohe proper. The Nippon Railway was nationalised on 1 November 1906, and the Aomori Line was later renamed the Tōhoku Main Line. A branch to the original Hachinohe Station (today's Hon-Hachinohe) opened in January 1894. After Kami-Naganawashiro was merged into Hachinohe in 1955, Shiriuchi was renamed Hachinohe on 1 April 1971, the older Hachinohe having become Hon-Hachinohe that February. A temporary station building opened in September 2000 while the present building was under construction for the Shinkansen; the new building entered partial service on 1 July 2002 and came into full use on 1 December 2002 with the Shinkansen extension from Morioka, when the Metoki–Hachinohe conventional section transferred to the Aoimori Railway. The 4 December 2010 extension to Shin-Aomori transferred the rest of the in-prefecture Tōhoku Main Line, including the conventional-line platforms here, to the Aoimori Railway. A sister-station agreement with Hakodate and Aomori was signed on 21 June 2003.

Notes

Hachinohe is the easternmost Shinkansen station in Japan, lying farther east than the eventual Hokkaidō Shinkansen terminus planned for Sapporo.
