History

Tatebayashi Station opened on 27 August 1907 under the name Nakano Station when Tobu Railway extended its Isesaki Line through the town, and was renamed Tatebayashi on 1 March 1937 when a wooden station building was completed. The station became the junction for the Sano and Koizumi lines as those branches were built out, and was named one of the Kantō Ekihyaku-sen stations in 1998 in recognition of its western-style architecture. A combined elevated station building and east-west free passage was completed in December 2009, and the TI-10 station number was introduced in March 2012.

Notes

Each track at Tatebayashi plays its own departure jingle, including settings of "Mary Had a Little Lamb" on platform 5 and "Hordi Lidia" on platform 2.
