History
Mutsu-Minato Station was opened on July 11, 1926 as a station on the Japanese Government Railways (JGR). A freight spur line to nearby Iwaki Cement (now part of Sumitomo Cement) was opened in 1927; the spur line was closed in 1986. Standard freight operations were suspended from October 1, 1971. With the privatization of the Japan National Railways (the post-war successor to the JGR) on April 1, 1987, the station came under the operational control of JR East.
