Hitachino-Ushiku Station opened on 14 March 1998 on the Joban Line in Ushiku, Ibaraki, on the site of the temporary Banpaku-Chuo Station that had served Expo '85. Construction had begun in September 1996, and automated ticket gates were in place from the first day of service. The footbridge station serves two island platforms, with platforms 1 and 4 acting as overtaking loops and 2 and 3 as the main running tracks. Suica IC cards became usable in November 2001, and the station was selected for the Kanto Station Hundred in 1999. It is the newest Joban Line station within Ibaraki Prefecture.

The station was built directly on the footprint of Banpaku-Chuo Station, the temporary Joban Line stop that handled visitors to Expo '85 between March and September 1985.
