Kakunodate Station opened on July 30, 1921 as a station on the Obonai Railway, which was nationalized into the Japanese Government Railways (JGR) the following year. The JGR became Japan National Railways (JNR) after World War II. The Kakunodate Line (which later became the Akita Nairiku Railway) began operation from November 1, 1971. The station was absorbed into the JR East network upon the privatization of the JNR on April 1, 1987. Services on the Akita Shinkansen began on March 22, 1997.
In fiscal 2018, the station was used by an average of 545 passengers daily (boarding passengers only).[1]
