History Hatsushima Station opened on December 15, 1938. The current station building was completed in March 1949. With the privatization of the Japan National Railways (JNR) on April 1, 1987, the station came under the aegis of the West Japan Railway Company.
In March 2025, work commenced to replace the original station building with one that was 3D printed, believed by JR West to be the first of its kind in the world. As part of these works, it took six hours to assemble the printed parts at the station site, which took the manufacturer Serendix seven days to print. The new station building, with an area of , features designs including the city flower Citrus unshiu and scabbardfish. The station building opened in July 2025, as scheduled. Ryo Kawamoto, the president of JR West's venture capital unit, said that the project was significant in that the number of workers required to maintain services in remote areas would be "reduced greatly".
Passenger statistics In fiscal 2019, the station was used by an average of 330 passengers daily (boarding passengers only).
