History

Iwate-Futsukamachi Station opened on 15 December 1914 as Futsukamachi Stop (二日町停留場, Futsukamachi Teiryujo) on the Iwate Light Railway, which was nationalized in 1936, becoming the Kamaishi Line. The station was elevated to a full passenger station and renamed to its present name on 15 December 1924. The station was absorbed into the JR East network upon the privatization of the Japanese National Railways (JNR) on 1 April 1987.
