Haranomachi Station (原ノ町駅 Haranomachi-eki?) is a railway station on the Joban Line in Minamisōma, Fukushima, Japan, operated by East Japan Railway Company (JR East).
Haranomachi Station is served by the Joban Line, and is located 286.9 km from the official starting point of the line at Nippori Station. However, due to damage to the line caused by the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami in March 2011, trains from Haranomachi are able to travel only as far as Sōma Station to the north, and are unable to travel further south than this station. Full services are not expected to resume until after 2017. Services toward Odaka station will resume 2016.
Haranomachi Station has a side platform and an island platform connected to the station building by a footbridge. The station has a Midori no Madoguchi staffed ticket counter.
Haranomachi Station opened on 3 April 1898. With the privatization of Japanese National Railways (JNR) on 1 April 1987, the station came under the control of JR East.
Train services from the station were suspended following the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami on 11 March 2011. From 21 December 2011, limited services were restored on the section of the Joban Line between Haranomachi and Sōma.
In March 2016, the two trains, a four-car 651 series (Super Hitachi) EMU and a 415-1500 series EMU, stranded at the station since the March 2011 tsunami, were removed by road for scrapping.
