History
Higashi-Ōsaki Station opened on 15 February 1955 as a Japanese National Railways station on the Rikuu East Line, in the city of Ōsaki, Miyagi Prefecture. At opening it handled only passengers using rail-cars and was unstaffed. With the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987 the station was absorbed into the East Japan Railway Company (JR East) network. It lies 19.1 rail kilometres from the line's terminus at Kogota, and has a single side platform serving one bi-directional track. The simple block-built shelter doubles as a waiting room, and the station remains unattended under Kogyū-shi Statting Centre management.
