History
Ōkuki Station is an unstaffed JR East Hachinohe Line stop in the city of Hachinohe, Aomori Prefecture, 21.8 kilometres from the line's starting point at Hachinohe Station. It opened on 10 December 1956 as an unstaffed Japanese National Railways station handling diesel-railcar passenger services only. At the 1 April 1987 JNR break-up the station passed to JR East, and from 1 December 2015 it has been managed from Hachinohe Station following the rationalisation of Hon-Hachinohe Station's staffing. The platform layout is a single ground-level side platform serving one bi-directional track; the only structure on the platform is a small rain shelter.

Notes
The station has been unstaffed and diesel-railcar-only for its entire existence — there was never a freight or parcels phase, unusual for a 1950s JNR opening.
