Tsugaru-Imabetsu Station (津軽今別駅 Tsugaru-Imabetsu-eki?) is a railway station on the Kaikyo Line in the town of Imabetsu, Aomori Prefecture, on the island of Honshu, Japan. It is operated by Hokkaido Railway Company (JR Hokkaido), and is the last stop in Honshu before the Seikan Tunnel to Hokkaido.

Since August 2015, there is no train service at this station due to the work to convert the station to a stop of the Hokkaido Shinkansen.[1]
