History
Kita-Tokiwa Station opened on 20 December 1924 as a stop on the Japanese Government Railways' Ōu Main Line, serving the village of Tokiwa (now part of Fujisaki) in Aomori Prefecture. Parcel handling ended on 10 February 1983 and staffing was reduced to a simplified-consignment arrangement, with tickets initially sold under a contract with the Akita regional office and later by Tokiwa village. The station passed to JR East at the privatisation of JNR on 1 April 1987. A new station building incorporating the "Pop-pora" community centre opened in December 2001, and Suica IC-card service became available on 27 May 2023.
