Ninohe Station opened on 20 December 1891 as Fukuoka Station. It was renamed Kita-Fukuoka on 1 June 1921 and took its present name on 1 February 1987. With the privatisation of JNR on 1 April 1987 it joined JR East. Local services passed to the third-sector Iwate Ginga Railway on 1 December 2002, when the Tōhoku Shinkansen was extended from Morioka and Shinkansen service to the station began. The JR East station is 601.0 km from Tokyo Station; its elevated side platforms are equipped with chest-high platform-edge doors and protected by a snow-shelter roof, and the station has a staffed Midori no Madoguchi ticket office.

Some Shinkansen services pass straight through Ninohe without stopping, despite the station being a junction with the Iwate Ginga Railway.
