History
Nitta Station opened on 4 January 1894 as a station of the private Nippon Railway on what is today the Tōhoku Main Line in the city of Tome, Miyagi. The line was nationalised on 1 November 1906, and the station became unstaffed on 1 December 1984 ahead of being absorbed into East Japan Railway Company (JR East) on 1 April 1987 with the privatisation of Japanese National Railways. Full unstaffed operation began on 16 March 2019. Construction of a replacement station building started in April 2021 — the prior building had been the oldest on the Tōhoku Main Line within JR East's Sendai branch — and the new station entered service on 26 December 2021.
Notes
Tickets issued at Nitta Station carry the prefix "(北) 新田" — meaning "(north) Nitta" — to distinguish them from those issued at the station on the Nara Line written with the same characters, 新田.
