• Aoimori Railway Line: Kogawara ⇄ Mukaiyama

Misawa Station opened on 1894-04-01 as Furumaki Station on the Nippon Railway. It joined the Tōhoku Main Line under the Japanese Government Railways when Nippon Railway was nationalised on 1906-07-01. Towada Railway connected its own Furumaki stop on 1922-09-04, the two operations sharing a building. JNR's Furumaki was renamed Misawa on 1961-03-20, following Towada's similar rename on 1961-03-01. A bridge-over-track station building entered service in stages in March 1987, and the JNR portion passed to JR East at privatisation on 1987-04-01. The parallel Tōhoku Main Line transferred to Aoimori Railway on 2010-12-04, and the Towada Kankō Electric Railway shut down on 2012-04-01.

From 1894 until the 1987 rebuild as an overhead concourse station, the east and west exits were not connected within the station, the first time they were linked.
