History
Hanuki Station opened on 1983-12-22 as a station on the Saitama New Urban Transit Ina Line (New Shuttle) in Ina, Kita-Adachi-gun, Saitama. From the start, Hanuki was the terminus of the Ina Line; that changed on 1990-08-22, when the line was extended to Uchijuku and Hanuki became an intermediate stop. The Suica IC card became usable on 2007-03-18, and on 2010-07-17, after land readjustment on the Ina land-reorganisation project, the station's address was updated to 1-chōme Gakuen. It is an elevated station with a single island platform and two tracks, carrying station code NS12, and is built as a single through-track station that trains enter on the right.

Notes
The substantial delay in opening the Hanuki–Uchijuku section was caused by opposition from landowners along the route; expropriation under the Land Expropriation Act and administrative execution were ultimately used to secure the right-of-way.
