History

The station opened on 1 September 1891, as Asamushi Station (浅虫駅, Asamushi-eki) on the Nippon Railway. It became a station on the Tōhoku Main Line of the Japanese Government Railways (JGR), the pre-war predecessor to the Japanese National Railways (JNR), after the nationalization of the Nippon Railway on 1 November 1906. Regularly scheduled freight services were discontinued in February 1962. The station was renamed as Asamushi-Onsen Station on 1 November 1986. With the privatization of JNR on 1 April 1987, it came under the operational control of East Japan Railway Company (JR East).

The section of the Tōhoku Main Line including this station was transferred to Aoimori Railway on 4 December 2010.[3]
