History
Inakadate Station opened on 1 July 1950 as a stop on the Kōnan Railway Kōnan Line, serving the village of Inakadate in Minamitsugaru District, Aomori Prefecture. Located 13.8 km from the southern terminus at Hirosaki, the station consists of a single island platform serving two tracks, connected to the station building by a level crossing. Day-to-day staffing ended on 16 November 1987, and the station has been unstaffed since. From 1 October 2021 the Kōnan Railway's commemorative stamp programme, the "Kōnan Tetsudō Inchō" stamp book, was launched; Inakadate's stamp can be collected at Kuroishi Station.
