History
Hisanohama Station opened on August 29, 1897 as a Nippon Railway facility on the line that became part of the Jōban Line under the 1909 line-name reform. The station passed to JR East at the 1987 JNR privatization and sits 224.0 kilometers from the line's official starting point at Nippori. Following the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and the Fukushima Daiichi accident, trains were replaced by buses, and full service through Tomioka was not restored until March 2020. The station was destaffed on 14 March 2020 when it was incorporated into the Tokyo metropolitan area and gained Suica acceptance.
