• Aoimori Railway Line: Misawa ⇄ Shimoda

Mukaiyama Station traces its history to 15 August 1922, when it opened as the Kinoshita Signal Box on the Ministry of Railways' line through what is now the town of Oirase, Aomori Prefecture. It was upgraded to a passenger station and renamed Mukaiyama on 10 July 1936. Freight handling ran from 1962 until 1976; a private siding once reached the Fuji Seitō Aomori sugar factory just west of the station but was idle from the factory's 1967 closure. The station became unstaffed in 1980 and fully unstaffed in 1992. JR East took over at the 1 April 1987 privatisation, and the line transferred to Aoimori Railway on 4 December 2010.

An unused room in the station building was converted in 2011 into the volunteer-run 'Mukaiyama Station Mini-Museum', which displays JNR-era equipment on weekends and public holidays.
