History

Karibasawa Station opened on 4 January 1894 as a Nippon Railway stop in the town of Hiranai, Aomori Prefecture. When Nippon Railway was nationalised on 1 November 1906 the station joined the Tōhoku Main Line under the Japanese Government Railways. Telegraph service began in 1909, scheduled freight ended in February 1962, and telegraph handling was discontinued in 1963. The station became unstaffed in 1980. JR East took over at the 1 April 1987 privatisation. When the Tōhoku Shinkansen was extended to Shin-Aomori on 4 December 2010, the parallel section of the Tōhoku Main Line was spun off to Aoimori Railway, and the unstaffed station has been part of that third-sector line ever since.
