Nishi-Hiranai Station opened on 1 October 1939 as a stop on the Government Railways' Tōhoku Main Line in the western part of Hiranai, Aomori Prefecture, installed primarily to serve a nearby sanatorium for disabled veterans. Regular freight services were withdrawn in November 1961 and the concrete elevated footbridge linking the two side platforms was installed on 1 January 1969. The station has been unstaffed since August 1970. With the JNR split on 1 April 1987 it came under JR East, and on 4 December 2010 the section of the Tōhoku Main Line including the station was transferred to the Aoimori Railway Company.

The station's original reason for being was access to a nearby sanatorium for disabled veterans.
