History
Higashi-Ōbuke Station opened on 1 December 1960 as a Japanese National Railways (JNR) stop on the Hanawa Line, serving the village of Nishine in what is now Hachimantai, Iwate Prefecture. From its opening the station handled only diesel railcar passengers and had no staff assigned. With the privatisation of JNR on 1 April 1987 it passed to JR East, and on 1 June 2018 management was transferred from Ōbuke Station to Morioka Station when Ōbuke itself was outsourced. The station consists of a single side platform serving one bidirectional track and remains unstaffed.
