Outline
The station is built as a new station in Tohoku area since Iwaki-Minato Station which opened in 2001 in Akita Prefecture.
The distance between Akita Station and Tsuchizaki Station is 7.1 km.[5]Local residents believed that this distance warranted a new station.
Akita City considered building the station, the case for building the new station was aided due to the fact that it is located in Izumi in Akita City, which has been developed by Akita Prefecture. The Izumi Hightown development has increased population in the area around the station [6]
It cost around 2,050,000,000 yen to build the station and associated buildings, and these expenses were paid for by Akita City.[7]
