History
Haguroshita Station opened on 28 December 1915 as the terminus of the Saku Railway's extension from Nakagomi, in what is now the town of Sakuho, Nagano. The Saku Railway was nationalised on 1 September 1934 and the station became part of the Ministry of Railways' Kōumi-Kita Line (later the Koumi Line). It was contracted out in March 1981, freight handling ended in 1982 and parcel handling in 1984, and it returned to direct JR East operation in March 1985. The station passed to JR East at the 1 April 1987 privatisation of Japanese National Railways, and was destaffed in April 1991. It has two opposed side platforms linked by a level crossing.

Notes
A long-running plan to extend the Jōshin Electric Railway's Jōshin Line from Shimonita to Haguroshita was floated but never realised.
