History
Honna Station opened on 1 February 1965 in the town of Kaneyama, Ōnuma District, Fukushima Prefecture. Although the JNR Tadami Line between Aizu-Kawaguchi and Tadami had been opened on 20 August 1963, using the right-of-way of an earlier hydroelectric construction railway, Honna and three other small stops were added only two years later. The unstaffed station has a single side platform short enough for just one carriage, so longer trains must use door-cut operation. With the 1 April 1987 privatization of the Japanese National Railways the station joined the East Japan Railway Company (JR East). Closed after the July 2011 floods, services were finally restored when the Tadami Line reopened in full on 1 October 2022.

Notes
The platform is only long enough for a single carriage, so multi-car trains use door-cut and passengers must use the front car for boarding and alighting.
