• Aoimori Railway Line: Aomori ⇄ Higashi-Aomori

Tsutsui Station was the first new station to open on the Tōhoku Main Line after its segment was transferred from JR East to the Aoimori Railway. Construction began on 25 June 2012 and the station name was confirmed as 'Tsutsui' on 27 June 2013 (the project had been provisionally called 'Tsutsui Shin-eki'). The station opened on 15 March 2014 to encourage commuter and student traffic — the prefectural Aomori High School lies immediately nearby — at a total project cost of about 700 million yen split equally between the central government, Aomori Prefecture and Aomori City. The station has two elevated side platforms about 7 m above ground, serving four-car trains, with a waiting room and ticket vending machine at ground level. From the 13 March 2021 timetable, rapid 'Shimokita' services no longer call here.

Tsutsui carries the sub-name 'Aomori-Kōkō-mae' ('Aomori High School front'). Before the station opened students at the prefectural Aomori High School had to either commute by bus, by bicycle, or use the more distant Higashi-Aomori Station over two kilometres away.
