Location

History

Tamade Station is a JR West stop on the Wakayama Line in Gose, Nara Prefecture, located 19.4 kilometres from the line's terminus at Ōji. The station opened on 11 March 1989 between Gose and Wakigami specifically to improve commuter access to the adjacent prefectural Gose Technical High School (now Gose Industrial High School). It is a single side-platform halt with no station building proper, although the 125-metre platform — long enough for six cars — is almost entirely roofed. The station is unstaffed and uses upright ticket vending machines and simple ICOCA gates, with ICOCA service introduced on 17 March 2018.

Notes

The viaduct of the Keihanawa Expressway (Yamato-Gose Road) passes directly over the platform, so departing trains immediately run under the elevated motorway.
