History
The station opened on 15 December 1914 as Futsukamachi Stop (二日町停留場 Futsukamachi Teiryujo) on the Iwate Light Railway (岩手軽便鉄道),[1] a 762 mm (2 ft 6 in) light railway extending 65.4 km from Hanamaki to the now-defunct Sennintōge Station (仙人峠駅).[2] The station was elevated to a full passenger station and renamed Iwate-Futsukamachi on 15 December 1924.[1]
The line was nationalized in August 1936, becoming the Kamaishi Line.[2] The station was absorbed into the JR East network upon the privatization of the Japanese National Railways (JNR) on 1 April 1987.[1]
