Location

History

Hiroto Station opened on 25 December 1954 as a stop on the Japanese National Railways' Gonō Line in what is now the town of Fukaura, Aomori Prefecture. JR East took over operations at the privatisation of 1 April 1987. On 1 April 2010 the station's management transferred from Fukaura Station to Goshogawara Station, and Eki-net Q-Chiket service began on 1 October 2024. The unattended ground-level stop sits 70.8 km from the southern terminus of the line at Higashi-Noshiro, with a single side platform and a small weather shelter as its only structure. Japan National Route 101 runs past the station, which stands on the Sea of Japan shoreline.

Notes

A high fence runs between the platform and the Sea of Japan shoreline to shield the tracks from storm waves.
