History
Hiranai Station opened on 5 February 1959 as a station of the Japan National Railways (JNR) Hachinohe Line, in what is now the town of Hirono in Iwate Prefecture. Following the 1 April 1987 privatisation of JNR, the station came under the operational control of East Japan Railway Company (JR East). The line was suspended from 11 March 2011 by the Great East Japan Earthquake and accompanying tsunami; service through Hiranai was restored on 8 August 2011 when operations resumed as far as Taneichi. On 1 April 2022 the position of Kuji stationmaster was abolished and the station was placed under Hachinohe's jurisdiction. It has a single ground-level side platform and a small rain shelter but no station building.
