Higashi-Washinomiya Station opened on 15 April 1981 as a freight-only facility on the Tōhoku Main Line in what is today the city of Kuki, Saitama. Passenger service began on 23 June 1982, and with the dissolution and privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987 the station passed to East Japan Railway Company while continuing to function as a Japan Freight Railway depot. The passenger station has an unusual split-level layout: Utsunomiya-bound trains call at a ground-level platform while Ōmiya-bound trains use an elevated side platform. The station is served by Utsunomiya Line and Shōnan-Shinjuku Line trains.
