History
Iwate-Futsukamachi Station opened on 15 December 1914 as Futsukamachi Stop, a halt on the Iwate Light Railway, a 762 mm narrow-gauge line that ran 65.4 km between Hanamaki and the now-defunct Sennintōge Station. It was elevated to a full passenger station and renamed Iwate-Futsukamachi on 16 December 1924. The Iwate Light Railway was nationalised in August 1936, becoming the Kamaishi Line, and the station was absorbed into the JR East network at the privatisation of the Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987. It is now unstaffed and serves a single bi-directional track from one side platform.
Notes
Iwate-Futsukamachi carries the Esperanto nickname "Farmista Domo" ("farmhouse"), one of a set of Esperanto station nicknames assigned along the Kamaishi Line.
