• Konan Railway Owani Line: Hirokoshita ⇄ Seiaichukomae

Hirosakigakuindaimae Station opened on 26 January 1952 with the inauguration of the Ōwani Line, originally as Nishi-Hirosaki Station (西弘前駅) of the Hirosaki Electric Railway, whose headquarters and depot once stood here; the line passed to the Kōnan Railway on 1 October 1970. On 1 December 1971 the first automatic ticket machines on the Kōnan Railway entered service at the station. Day-to-day operations were consigned to outside staff from 1 October 1985, and on 1 September 2008 the station was renamed Hirosakigakuindaimae after the adjacent Hirosaki Gakuin University. The station has been unstaffed since 1 April 2009, when the automatic ticket machines were also removed.

The 2008 renaming was announced just one week in advance without prior consultation with residents or the local shopping street, and locals still commonly refer to the area by the original station name's nickname, "Nishihiro."
