History
Aizu-Hinohara Station opened on 28 October 1941 as a provisional halt — written 会津檜原 in its original form — on the Japanese National Railways Tadami Line, serving the extension between Aizu-Yanaizu and Aizu-Miyashita and handling passengers only. The halt was upgraded to full station status on 1 June 1942. The station was absorbed into JR East at the privatisation of JNR on 1 April 1987, and on 3 December 1994 its written name was simplified to the current 会津桧原. The present station building dates from a March 2003 rebuild. The station sits in Hinohara, Mishima, Ōnuma District, Fukushima Prefecture, and is an unstaffed single-track halt with one side platform and a small platform-side waiting room.

Notes
The first Tadami River bridge between Aizu-Hinohara and Aizu-Nishikata is celebrated among rail photographers as one of the line's prime shooting locations.
