History
Anamizu Station opened on 27 August 1932 as a station on the Nanao Line and grew into a regional hub when Noto Line services to Ukawa began on 15 June 1959. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987 it passed to JR West, but on 1 September 1991 the Nanao Line section from Nanao to Anamizu was transferred from JR West to the third-sector Noto Railway. The Nanao Line stopped running beyond Anamizu to Wajima on 1 April 2001, making the station the line's present terminus, and Noto Line services were discontinued altogether on 1 April 2005. In fiscal 2015 it averaged 210 boarding passengers daily.
