Shizukuishi Station is on the JR East Tazawako Line and Akita Shinkansen in Shizukuishi, Iwate Prefecture, 16.0 kilometres from the lines' shared terminus at Morioka. The first station opened on 25 June 1921 as the terminus of the Railway Ministry's Hashiba Light Railway. A year later the line was extended west to Hashiba, making Shizukuishi an intermediate stop, until that western segment was suspended as a non-essential wartime line on 1 October 1944, reverting the station to a terminus. The Akabuchi extension reopened it as a through stop on 10 September 1964. Reorganisation as part of the Tazawako Line followed on 20 October 1966, JR East took over on 1 April 1987, and Akita Shinkansen services began on 22 March 1997.

Shizukuishi was selected as one of the "Hundred Stations of Tōhoku" for its design themed on the writer Miyazawa Kenji, with the station building jointly constructed by Shizukuishi town and JR East to coincide with the Akita Shinkansen opening.
