Departure data for this station is not available on this site.

Kamimorioka Station is on the JR East Yamada Line in Morioka, Iwate Prefecture, 2.8 rail kilometres from the line's terminus at Morioka. It opened on 10 October 1923. Freight handling ended on 1 October 1981 and parcel service on 15 November 1982, the same day passing-loop equipment was removed and the station became dispatch-only with staff sent over from Morioka. The site became part of JR East on 1 April 1987 and was fully unstaffed from 1 April 1998. The original wooden station building, once paired with a Kiosk, was replaced in 1983 by a small structure holding only a ticket window and a waiting room, then rebuilt again on conversion to unstaffed operation; the current building is a plain waiting room with no ticket gate.

Kamimorioka was once a staffed station with a substantial wooden building and a Kiosk; it has since shrunk to a plain unstaffed waiting room with no ticket gate.
