History
Hachimantai Station opened on 17 October 1931 as Azukisawa Station on the privately built Akita Railway, serving the village of Hachimantai. The line was nationalised on 1 June 1934 and folded into the Japanese Government Railways, later JNR. The station took its present name on 1 April 1957, following the formation of the new Hachimantai village. It became unstaffed on 15 November 1982 and passed to JR East on 1 April 1987 at the privatisation of JNR. A modern building modelled on the nearby Dainichireiki shrine replaced the original in March 2015 at one-fifth the former structure's size.
Notes
The 2015 replacement station building is roughly one-fifth the size of its predecessor and was modelled on the shrine hall of the nearby Dainichireiki Shrine.
