History

Echizen-Tomida Station opened on 15 December 1960 as a passenger-and-freight station on the Japanese National Railways Etsumi-Hoku Line, on the section between Echizen-Hanandō and Katsuhara. It was unattended from the start, and freight handling was withdrawn on 1 April 1973. With the privatisation of JNR on 1 April 1987 the station passed to JR West. After torrential rain on 18 July 2004 closed the entire line, the station resumed operations on 20 July 2004 when the Echizen-Ōno–Kuzuryūko section reopened. The station retains a single side platform with only a shelter and serves the Uwano district of Ōno city in Fukui Prefecture.
