Higashi-Ōdate Station is served by the Hanawa Line, and is located 103.3 km from the terminus of the line at Kōma.
The station was built with an island platform, but one side of the platform is not in use, thus rendering the station to be a single side platform serving bi-directional traffic. The station is unattended. Higashi-Ōdate Station is administered by Kazuno-Hanawa Station and operated by Jaster Co., Ltd. Ordinary tickets, express tickets, and reserved-seat tickets for all JR lines are on sale.
Higashi-Ōdate Station was opened on July 1, 1914 on the privately owned Akita Railways, serving the town of Ōdate, Akita. The line was nationalized on June 1, 1934, becoming part of the Japanese Government Railways (JGR) system, which became the Japan National Railways (JNR) after World War II. The station was absorbed into the JR East network upon the privatization of the JNR on April 1, 1987. The station has been unattended since April 2003.
In fiscal 2018, the station was used by an average of 213 passengers daily (boarding passengers only).[1]
