History
Kita-Noheji Station opened on December 20, 1958, sited 2.8 kilometres from the Ōminato Line terminus at Noheji and serving the eastern edge of Noheji town. Operational control passed from Japanese National Railways to JR East on April 1, 1987, with the station having no permanent staff since well before then. The current small station structure dates from around 1998, replacing an earlier minimal building. After the December 4, 2010 transfer of Noheji Station to Aoimori Railway, the managing-station role moved from Noheji to Ōminato Station, leaving Kita-Noheji a single-platform unattended stop.
