Ninohe Station opened on 20 December 1891 as Fukuoka Station (福岡駅) on the Japanese Government Railways. It was renamed Kita-Fukuoka on 1 June 1921 and took its present name on 1 February 1987. With the privatisation of JNR on 1 April 1987 it joined JR East. Local services were transferred to the third-sector Iwate Ginga Railway on 1 September 2002, and Tōhoku Shinkansen service to the station began on 1 December 2002 when the line was extended from Morioka. The JR East station is 601.0 km from Tokyo Station; its elevated side platforms are equipped with chest-high platform-edge doors and protected by a snow-shelter roof, with a staffed Midori no Madoguchi at platform level.

Some Shinkansen services pass straight through Ninohe without stopping, despite its being a junction point with the Iwate Ginga Railway and the only Shinkansen station serving northern Iwate.
