Mokichi-Kinenkan-mae Station, on the Ōu Main Line in the city of Kaminoyama, Yamagata Prefecture, opened on 5 December 1952 as Kita-Kaminoyama Station (北上ノ山駅). It was absorbed into the JR East network upon the 1987 privatization of Japanese National Railways, and on 1 July 1992 it was renamed Mokichi-Kinenkan-mae after the nearby Saitō Mokichi Memorial Museum dedicated to the tanka poet Saitō Mokichi. The station has two opposed side platforms connected by a level crossing, is unstaffed, and sits 77.8 rail kilometres from the line's southern terminus at Fukushima Station, surrounded by rice paddies and small rural settlements.

The station was renamed in 1992 after the nearby Saitō Mokichi Memorial Museum; until then it had been called Kita-Kaminoyama Station.
