History

Nishihata Station opened on 1 February 1937 as a stop on the Japanese Government Railway's Kihara Line, initially served only by gasoline-powered railcars while steam services passed through. The station closed late in World War II on 10 June 1945 and reopened a year later on 10 June 1946. It was destaffed on 16 September 1954, passed briefly to JR East with privatisation on 1 April 1987, and on 24 March 1988 became part of the third-sector Isumi Railway when the Kihara Line was transferred. The unstaffed single-platform halt sits 25.1 km from the eastern terminus at Ōhara.
