Mukaiyama Station (向山駅 Mukaiyama-eki?) is a railway station on the Aoimori Railway Line in the town of Oirase, Aomori Prefecture, Japan, operated by the third-sector railway operator Aoimori Railway.
Mukaiyama Station is served by the 121.9 km Aoimori Railway Line from Metoki to Aomori, and is 79.7 km from the northern terminus of the line at Aomori.
Mukaiyama Station has an island platform serving two tracks, connected to the unstaffed station building by a footbridge.
The station opened on July 10, 1936. With the privatization of JNR on April 1, 1987, it came under the operational control of East Japan Railway Company (JR East). With the opening of the Tohoku Shinkansen extension to Shin-Aomori, the section of the Tohoku Main Line including this station was transferred to the Aoimori Railway on December 4, 2010.
