Hachinohe Station (八戸駅, Hachinohe-eki) is a railway station operated by the East Japan Railway Company (JR East) in Hachinohe, Aomori, Japan.

Local services are operated by the third sector Aoimori Railway on the section of the former JR Tōhoku Main Line between Metoki and Aomori.

[2] Initially, the construction of a railroad close to the coast was opposed by the Imperial Japanese Army for defensive purposes, so the station was constructed at a considerable distance inland from the town center.

[citation needed] With the privatization of JNR on April 1, 1987, the station came under the operational control of JR East.

[2] A new station building was opened on July 1, 2002, and Tōhoku Shinkansen services began operation from December 12, 2002, with operations of the Tōhoku Main Line from Hachinohe to the border of Iwate Prefecture transferred to the new Aoimori Railway.
