The Nanbu Jukan Railway opened in 1962 between Chibiki and Shichinohe, and was later extended to Noheji, utilizing the trackbed of the old Tohoku Main Line that was created when the tracks were switched.

The Kiha 104 was introduced in 1980, taking over from the JNR Kiha 10 series to accommodate the increase in student commuting. It was mainly used during rush hour, but was also used along with the Kiha 101 and 102 for event trains and when there were many passengers just before the service was suspended, and is still preserved in working order even after it was abolished.
