Station history
Higashi-Narawa Station opened on 1 March 1933, as a passenger station on the Japanese Government Railways (JGR). Freight operations commenced from 1 May 1945. The JGR became the Japanese National Railways (JNR) after World War II. Freight operations were discontinued from 15 November 1975, and the station became unattended after that time. With the privatization and dissolution of the JNR on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR Central. Automatic turnstiles were installed in May 1992, and the TOICA system of magnetic fare cards was implemented in November 2006.{{cite book |last1=Kawai |first1=Yuhei |title=Taketoyo-sen Monogatari |date=2009 |publisher=交通新聞社 |isbn=4330046091}}
