History

Kanehama Station is an unstaffed JR East Hachinohe Line stop in the city of Hachinohe, Aomori Prefecture, 24.3 kilometres from the line's starting point at Hachinohe Station. It opened on 10 December 1956 as an unstaffed Japanese National Railways station handling diesel-railcar passenger services only. At the 1 April 1987 JNR break-up it transferred to JR East, and from 1 December 2015 it has been managed from Hachinohe Station after staffing was rationalised at Hon-Hachinohe Station. The single side platform, sited in a cutting, serves one bi-directional track; there is no station building, only a small rain shelter on the platform.

Notes

The station's single side platform sits inside a railway cutting, with the nearest bus stop up beside the overbridge that crosses the line.
