History

Higashi-Hagi Station was opened on 1 November 1925 when the Japan Government Railways Mine Line was extended from Hagi Station. The line was further extended to Nago Station on 24 April 1929. This portion of the Mine Line was incorporated into the San'in Main Line in 1933. Freight operations were discontinued from 1 February 1963. The station building was rebuilt into a two-story reinforced concrete structure with white walls and reflecting a samurai residence in July 1973. With the privatization of the Japan National Railway (JNR) on 1 April 1987, the station came under the aegis of the West Japan Railway Company (JR West). Freight operations were discontinued from 31 December 1983.
