Michikawa Station opened on 22 February 1920 as a Japanese Government Railways stop on the Rikuusai Line, serving the village of Michikawa in Yuri District, Akita Prefecture. It was reassigned to the Uetsu Main Line on 20 April 1924. Freight handling ended on 1 October 1971, parcel service in December 1972, when the station became unstaffed and was switched to a simplified franchise; the station building hosted an Iwaki-town chamber-of-commerce shop "Station Market" from December 1973. JNR's 1987 privatisation transferred it to JR East. The present station building was rebuilt in December 2000, and the franchise has since lapsed, leaving the stop fully unstaffed under Ugo-Honjō management.

From December 1973 the station building housed "Station Market", a shop run by the Iwaki town chamber of commerce, opened while the station was operating under a simplified ticket franchise.
