History
Owari-Morioka Station opened on 7 December 1933 on the government-owned Taketoyo Line, as part of a service expansion meant to counter the new Chita Railway (today the Meitetsu Kōwa Line). It was a passenger-only stop with patronage restricted by ticket origin to a defined list of stations. The station was suspended on 11 November 1944 during wartime consolidation. Local petitioning from 1953 led to authorisation in October 1956 and reopening on 15 April 1957, without the earlier ticket restrictions. JR Central took over at the April 1987 privatisation, and TOICA acceptance began on 25 November 2006. Self-service ticket machines and a customer-support intercom were introduced on 8 March 2026 as part of the Taketoyo Line's one-person-operation rollout.
Notes
The station carries the old provincial prefix "Owari" specifically to distinguish it from Morioka Station in Iwate Prefecture.
