History
Fujisaki (Aomori) opened on 25 September 1918 as a station of the Mutsu Railway, and was absorbed into the Japanese National Railways Goshogawara Line (later the Gono Line) when the Mutsu Railway was nationalised on 1 June 1927. Freight handling was discontinued in 1983, and with the introduction of electronic blocking on 1 November 1986 between Itayanagi and Kawabe, the station was unstaffed and operated under kan'i itaku (simply-managed). With privatisation on 1 April 1987 the station passed to JR East. Simply-managed status ended in 2001 and the station became fully unstaffed. The town and JR East Akita Branch rebuilt the station building in November 2013, with a dedication ceremony and a one-day stop by the special rapid 'Resort Shirakami' on 1 December. From 17 March 2018 the Resort Shirakami became a regular calling train. EkiNet Q-Chiket service began on 1 October 2024.
Notes
The platform retains the painted phrase 'sashi-yubi kakunin' (point-and-call confirmation), a relic from the days when station staff carried out train operations here. From 15 June 2018 the boarding melody 'Ringo no Hitorigoto' ('Apple's Soliloquy') began playing at the station.
