History

Matsuba Station opened on 1 November 1971, as a station on the Japan National Railways (JNR) Kakunodate Line, serving the town of Nishiki, Akita. The line was privatized on 1 November 1986, becoming the Akita Nairiku Jūkan Railway.[1] Matsuba Station was the terminal of the original southern section of the line, until the tracks were extended to Hitachinai on 1 April 1989.[1]
