History
Hayaguchi Station opened on 7 October 1900 as a general station on the government-built Japanese Government Railways, serving the village of Hayaguchi in what is now Ōdate, Akita Prefecture. With the line-name reorganisation of 1909 it became part of the Ōu Main Line, and it sat 393.5 km from the line's southern terminus at Fukushima. During the JNR era the station was a regular stop for express services including "Mutsu" and "Senshū", but a 2002 timetable revision ended limited-express stops there. The wooden building was half-destroyed by fire in January 1983. Following JNR privatisation on 1 April 1987 the station joined JR East.
