History
Nittaki Station opened on 15 August 1922 on the Jōban Line, in what was then Nittaki Village in Sōma District. Goods handling was withdrawn in April 1962 and parcel traffic in October 1975, and the station became unattended in March 1977 under a simple-commission arrangement that was discontinued in 1993. It passed to JR East at the dissolution of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987, and Suica fare cards have been accepted since March 2009. After the March 2011 Tōhoku earthquake the station closed; replacement bus services using the nearby Sōma Roadside Station ran from May, and rail service resumed between Haranomachi and Sōma on 21 December 2011. Full through service to Tokyo was restored on 14 March 2020.
