History
Higashi-Hashisaki Station opened on 23 December 1931 on what is today the JR West Kishin Line, in the city of Tatsuno, Hyogo Prefecture, 17.8 kilometres from the line terminus at Himeji. The original operator was the Japanese Government Railways, and the station was carried through into the postwar JNR. With the privatisation of JNR on 1 April 1987 the station came under JR West. It is an unattended halt with two opposed ground-level side platforms linked by a level crossing, recording an average of 423 passengers per day in fiscal 2019. The surrounding area is best known for the Tenobe Somen Ibo-no-Ito Museum, dedicated to the production of hand-stretched somen noodles, a local speciality of the Ibogawa basin.
