History
Komagamine Station is on JR East's Jōban Line in Shinchi, Sōma District, Fukushima Prefecture. It opened on 10 July 1952 as a JNR station, was unstaffed from 1977, and came under JR East at privatisation on 1 April 1987. Operations were fully unstaffed from 1993. Suica became usable from 14 March 2009. After the 11 March 2011 Tōhoku earthquake the station was suspended; the wooden station building escaped major damage and the line via Komagamine was restored when the Sōma–Hamayoshida section reopened on 10 December 2016. The Sōma–Hamayoshida realignment moved the adjacent Shinchi Station inland, shortening the Komagamine–Shinchi distance by 0.2 km to 4.2 km.

Notes
Komagamine Station survived the 2011 tsunami largely intact; rather than relocate the wooden station building, JR East East restored it in place when the inland-realigned Jōban Line reopened on 10 December 2016.
