Aozasa Station is served by the Kamaishi Line; it is located 50.3 rail kilometers from the terminus of the line at Hanamaki Station.
The station has one side platform, serving a single bi-directional track. There is no station building, but there is a brick weather shelter, located across the road parallel to the platform. The station is unattended.
Aozasa Station opened on 1 September 1915 on the Iwate Light Railway (岩手軽便鉄道), a 762 mm (2 ft 6 in) light railway extending 65.4 km from Hanamaki to the now-defunct Sennintōge Station (仙人峠駅).[1] The line was nationalized in 1936, becoming the Kamaishi Line. The station was absorbed into the JR East network upon the privatization of the Japanese National Railways (JNR) on 1 April 1987.
