History
Arimineguchi Station opened on 1 October 1937 as Omi Station, on the Toyama Prefectural Railway extension from Chigaki to Awasuno. It was transferred to Nihon Hassoden on 1 June 1942 and to Toyama Chihō Railway on 1 January 1943. Freight was withdrawn on 1 June 1969, and the station was renamed Arimineguchi on 1 July 1970 in anticipation of through services from Japanese National Railways and Meitetsu, with the new name marketing the station as the gateway to Lake Arimine. The station was unstaffed by 1997, and its original 1937 wooden station building was substantially renovated in 2020. It serves an island platform with two tracks and is a limited-express stop carrying station number T54.

Notes
Between 1958 and 1959 the freight siding here handled around 700–800 tonnes of cement a day for the construction of the Arimine Dam, increasing the line's freight trains from one to three every two days; the siding was permanently closed in 1969 after the dam was finished.
