History edit
Tsugaru-Futamata Station was opened on October 21, 1958, as a station on the Japanese National Railways (JNR). Scheduled freight operations were discontinued from October 20, 1968. With the privatization of the JNR on April 1, 1987, it came under the operational control of JR East.
Surrounding area edit
The station is next to the Okutsugaru-Imabetsu Station of the Hokkaido Shinkansen (which runs immediately adjacent and parallel to Tsugaru-Futamata). Prior to the opening of Okutsugaru-Imabetsu Station, there was the Tsugaru-Imabetsu Station on the Kaikyō Line at the same location, which was connected by a stairway.
