• Wakasa Railway Wakasa Line: Abe ⇄ Tokumaru

Hattō Station opened on 1 December 1930 when the Japanese Government Railways extended the Wakasa Line from Hayabusa to Wakasa, with passenger and freight handling from the outset. Freight handling was discontinued on 1 October 1974, parcel handling and the station-staff position ended on 1 November 1974, and the station became unstaffed. On 1 April 1987 it passed briefly to JR West with the privatisation of Japanese National Railways, then transferred on 14 October 1987 to the third-sector Wakasa Railway when the line was converted. The wooden station building and 1-platform were registered as National Tangible Cultural Properties on 23 July 2008. A passing loop was added and the station expanded to two platforms with the 14 March 2020 timetable revision.

Hattō has two opposed side platforms with a passing loop, a level crossing connecting the platforms and the station building, and a wooden station building down a slope on the south side; platform 1 and the main building both date from 1930 and are listed Tangible Cultural Properties. The station office once doubled as the Yamaoka Electric Hattō factory, and the company sold tickets on a simple-commission basis. After Yamaoka left, the café 'Hitoyasumi' opened in the office space in July 2015; once it closed, local residents have handled ticket sales and managed the building since April 2017. South of platform 1, a preserved former freight platform has been restored, with a re-laid spur track (2010), a relocated Wafu 35000-class covered brake van (2011, ex-Utsunomiya Freight Terminal), and in March 2022 a Fuji Heavy Industries TMC100BS snowplough motor car relocated from the closed Kaya SL Park.
