History
Mutsu-Iwasaki Station opened on 14 October 1932 as a station of the Ministry of Railways (later Japanese National Railways) in Iwasaki Village (now part of Fukaura), Aomori Prefecture. At opening it was the terminus of the then-Nōshiro Line. Freight handling ended on 20 September 1978 and parcel handling on 1 February 1984. On 1 November 1986 the introduction of electronic block signalling between Iwadate and Fukaura made the station's operational duties redundant, and it became an unstaffed consignment stop. With the privatisation of JNR on 1 April 1987 it came under JR East. Consignment operations by the Fukaura town merchants' association ended on 31 March 2005, leaving the station fully unstaffed.
