• Aoimori Railway Line: Shimizugawa ⇄ Nishi-Hiranai

Kominato Station opened provisionally as a freight stop in 1889 to handle Tōhoku Main Line construction materials shipped through Kominato Port, then entered regular service on 1 September 1891 with the line's extension between Morioka and Aomori. Telegraph service began on 16 March 1893. From July 1946 to July 1949 a freight-only Kominato–Hakodate route of the Seikan ferry operated from the station. Freight handling ended on 31 March 1973 and parcel handling on 14 March 1985. With the JNR split on 1 April 1987 the station came under JR East; on 4 December 2010 the section was transferred to Aoimori Railway following the Shinkansen extension to Shin-Aomori.

Long before its modern role as the central station for the town of Hiranai, Kominato hosted a freight-only ferry route to Hakodate from 1946 until services were suspended three years later.
