History

Anamizu Station opened on 27 August 1932 as a station on the Nanao Line. Operations on the Noto Line to {{STN|Ukawa|x}} began on 15 June 1959. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR) on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR West. On 1 September 1991, the section of the Nanao Line from Nanao to Anamizu was separated from JR West into the Noto Railway. On 1 April 2001, the Nanao Line discontinued operations past Anamizu to {{STN|Wajima|x}}, making Anamizu the terminus of the line. Operations on the Noto Line were discontinued from 1 April 2005.
