History
Asamushi-Onsen Station was opened on September 1, 1891 as Asamushi (浅虫駅, Asamushi-eki) on the Nippon Railway. It became a station on the Tōhoku Main Line of the Japanese Government Railways (JGR), the pre-war predecessor to the Japan National Railways (JNR), after the nationalization of the Nippon Railway on November 1, 1906. Regularly scheduled freight services were discontinued in February 1962. The station was renamed to its present name on November 1, 1986. With the privatization of the JNR on April 1, 1987, it came under the operational control of East Japan Railway Company (JR East). From April 1, 2005 the station had been operated by Jaster Co., Ltd., with ticketing window for ordinary tickets, express tickets, and reserved-seat tickets for all JR lines.
The section of the Tōhoku Main Line including this station was transferred to Aoimori Railway on December 4, 2010.
