History
Hagiwara Station opened on 18 July 1899 as a stop on the private Bisai Railroad in what is now Ichinomiya, Aichi Prefecture. Nagoya Railroad acquired the Bisai Railroad on 1 August 1925, integrating the station into the present-day Meitetsu Bisai Line. The 1955-built joint station building, which once housed a branch of the Ichinomiya municipal office on its second floor, served until a 2007 rebuild that coincided with the introduction of Tranpass-compatible turnstiles and unstaffed operation on 29 November 2007. The Manaca IC card was added on 11 February 2011. The station is assigned BS09 in the Meitetsu numbering system.

Notes
The station is the nearest stop to the birthplace of singer Kazuo Funaki, whose song "Rock'n Roll Furusato" namechecks the surrounding Hagiwara neighbourhood.
