History
Tsukinoki Station opened on 12 January 1891 as a general station of the Nippon Railway and became a state-owned station with the railway's nationalisation in 1906. The JNR Marumori Line branched off here from 1 April 1968; after that line was designated a specified local-traffic route, it was converted to a third-sector operation as the Abukuma Express on 1 July 1986, leaving the station jointly used by JNR (later JR) and the new operator. The station passed to JR East and JR Freight at the 1 April 1987 privatisation, and the JR Freight side closed on 1 April 1997. A new building entered service on 27 June 1998. Suica IC service began on the Tōhoku Main Line on 26 October 2003. The dedicated ticket office (Midori-no-madoguchi) closed on 31 March 2023, and the station is now operated under contract by Iwanuma Station.
Notes
Every station on the Abukuma Express line except Fukushima carries its own catchphrase; Tsukinoki's is Bunka no kaoru machi — "a town fragrant with culture."
