History
The station was originally built in a part of a plan to connect Morioka Station with Ōmagari Station while passing through Tazawako Station. The line opened in 1922 along with the station as "Hashiba Line".{{Cite web |title=No.923 広報しずくいし |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211227064801/https://www.town.shizukuishi.iwate.jp/docs/2021060700035/files/No923_hp.pdf |access-date=10 February 2025}} However, the operation between Shizukuishi and this station was suspended in 1944 after the section was deemed unnecessary, and the rail was removed from the section. The construction of the rest of the line was planned again after World War II, but the route to connect the line to Tazawako changed to head south from the newly opened Akabuchi Station, largely missing Hashiba station. The "Hashiba Line" route was de-facto abandoned and replaced with the Tazawako Line, although the station was not officially closed.{{Cite web |title=国鉄橋場線橋場駅跡 |url=https://nacl.sakura.ne.jp/haisenhaieki/ekiatohashiba.htm |access-date=2025-02-10 |website=nacl.sakura.ne.jp}}{{Cite web |last=zermoth |title=橋場駅情報 - レール・ブルー |url=https://rail.blue/railroad/logis/stationinfo.aspx?id=81010711&lang=ja |access-date=2025-02-10 |website=レール・ブルー - 韓国の列車運行情報サイト}}
